Descripción
We present the transient nature of INTEGRAL source IGR J17285 2922,
identified from a single period of activity during an IBIS/ISGRI
Galactic Centre Deep Exposure in September 2003. The source has a
maximum detection significance of 14σ in the 20 100 keV energy
range and exhibits a flux of 6.5 mCrab before it moves out of the ISGRI
field of view. The source is visible to at least 150 keV and its
spectrum can be fit with a power law slope of Γ=2.1 ±0.17;
a more physical model could not be fit due to poor statistics. Detected
characteristics are consistent with the source being a Galactic low-mass
X-ray binary harbouring a black hole or neutron star.
