Description
During INTEGRAL's Performance and Verification phase (December 2002) a type-I outburst of the Be/X-ray binary EXO 2030+375 was detected. A pulse period of 41.691798±0.000016 s was found, and the ] luminosity in the 5-300 keV energy range was 9.7×10^{36} erg s^{-1} for a distance of 7.1 kpc. Two unusual features were found in the light curve, with an initial peak before the main outburst and another possible spike after the maximum. RXTE observations confirm only the existence of the initial spike. The physical mechanisms producing these two features are unknown. The 5-300 keV broad-band spectrum can be modeled by the sum of a disk black body (kT_{BB} ˜8 keV) with either a power law model with Γ=2.04±0.11 keV or a Comptonized component (spherical geometry, kT_e=30 keV, τ=2.64, kT_W=1.5 keV).

    Accretion-induced variability of interacting red giant binaries masquerading as oscillations
    Symbiotic stars are strongly interacting binaries with long orbital periods, containing an evolved red giant and a white dwarf or a neutron star embedded in a circumbinary nebula. They constitute unique astrophysical laboratories important for understanding the binary evolution and diverse processes occurring also in many other types of

    2 Young 2 Furious - Challenges and opportunities in the study of young exoplanets
    Current theories of planetary evolution predict that infant giant planets have large radii and very low densities before they slowly contract to reach their final size after about several hundred million years. These theoretical expectations have remained untested for a long time, as the detection and characterization of very young planets is

    The mysterious globular cluster population of NGC5846-UDG1 (MATLAS-2019)
    The number of globular clusters plays a fundamental role in understanding the early stages of galaxy formation. We know that the GC population of normal galaxies correlates with the amount of dark matter in these objects. Extending this analysis to the number of globulars in very low surface brightness galaxies is therefore key to understanding the
