Transient Low Mass X-ray binaries seen by INTEGRAL: already known sources and new IGRs
Abstract
We report on the study of the high energy emission of transient Neutron Stars in Low Mass X-ray Binary systems, with different characteristics, performed with INTEGRAL. The X and Gamma behaviour of the sources has been monitored through light curves in different energy bands to look for the temporal variability, then the hardness-intensity diagrams have been constructed, and finally we performed a fine spectral extraction to discuss the physical parameters dominating the spectral variations. We also study a sample of the new transient sources discovered by IBIS (IGRs) during the INTEGRAL monitoring over the last six years. Performing a timing and spectral study with a multi-wavelength approach whenever possible, we try to understand their nature.
