Description
We present an INTEGRAL data analysis of the X-ray transient SAX J2103.5+4545 during December 2002. The source showed two type-I outbursts in this period. The INTEGRAL location agrees with the position of the recently proposed optical counterpart. A power-law model was fitted to the 10 100 keV spectrum and a photon index of 2.5±0.1 was derived. The X-ray luminosity in the 10-100 keV energy range was 3.5×1036 erg s-1 . These results indicate that the source was in a bright state. A 355-second pulse period was measured. Key words: INTEGRAL binary systems neutron star accretion HMXRB BeX.

    Galaxy archaeology - The quest for ancient mergers
    The hierarchical assembly of galaxies through mergers is a key channel of galaxy evolution in the ΛCDM cosmological model. Quantifying these ancient transformative accretion events from observations of present day galaxies is a crucial goal of extragalactic archeology. Achieving this goal is challenging as the dominant epoch of galaxy assembly lies

    A Disc Wind Where You Least Expect It: The Outflow in the Short-period X-ray Binary UW CrB
    Studying outflows of low mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) is important for understanding the physics of accretion, the evolution of compact binaries, and dynamics of the local interstellar medium. One significant source of these outflows is the accretion disc wind, which can blow away vast amounts of material from the disc before it can be accreted on
