Advances in Understanding High-Mass X-ray Binaries with INTEGRALand Future Directions

Torres, Diego F.; Li, Jian; Rothschild, Richard E. +48 more

High mass X-ray binaries are among the brightest X-ray sources in the Milky Way, as well as in nearby Galaxies. Thanks to their highly variable emissions and complex phenomenology, they have attracted the interest of the high energy astrophysical community since the dawn of X-ray Astronomy. In more recent years, they have challenged our comprehens…

INTEGRAL results on gamma-ray bursts and polarization of hard X-ray sources

Mereghetti, Sandro; Götz, Diego; Laurent, Philippe +9 more

In this paper we first review the results obtained by the INTEGRAL mission in the domain of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs), thanks to the INTEGRAL Burst Alert System, which is able to deliver near real-time alerts for GRBs detected within the IBIS field of view. More than 120 GRBs have been detected to date and we summarize their properties here. In the …
