New INTEGRAL catalogue expands gamma-ray horizons
Astronomers have the best idea yet of how the Universe looks in gamma rays after the publication of the fourth INTEGRAL Soft Gamma-Ray Survey Catalogue. The catalogue, which has been constructed from more than 70 million seconds of observing time, now includes significantly more extragalactic sources and is set to orchestrate the future...

INTEGRAL researcher scoops Zeldovich Medal
Dr. Vito Sguera, a young, Italian scientist who contributed significantly to the discovery of a new sub-class of X-ray binaries, using ESA's INTEGRAL telescope, has been awarded the 2010 Zeldovich Medal from the Committee on Space Research (COSPAR). He is being recognised for his work on Supergiant Fast X-ray Transients (SFXTs).

Galactic positron annihilation: not a signal of dark matter?
INTEGRAL's all-sky map of the 511 keV line emission has been used to conclude that dark matter is not the origin of galactic positron annihilation, contrary to what had been assumed in past years.

Magnetar observed during outburst thanks to rapid response of INTEGRAL
The quick turn-around time of the INTEGRAL operation teams has enabled rare high-energy observations of a magnetar. The observations followed indications late last week that 1E 1547.0-5408 was in outburst mode.

Eta Carinae in Hard X-rays
Eta Carinae is a complex binary system, at a distance of around 8000 light years, with a large nebulosity surrounding the central objects. Observations with INTEGRAL have confirmed the nature of hard X-ray emission from the region to be from inverse compton scattered photons accelerated in a region where two stellar winds collide.
