1 Survey of the Milky Way and nearby galaxies in hard X- and gamma- rays
Lutovinov A. Revnivtsev M., Tsygankov S., Krivonos R., Space Research Institute (Moscow) FINCA, University of Oulu (Finland) University of Berkley (USA)

2 Spectrometer SPI (15keV-8MeV)
INTEGRAL observatory Launched 17 Oct 2002 (PROTON) orbit h perigee ~ 9000 km apogee ~ km Spectrometer SPI (15keV-8MeV) (E/dE~500) Gamma-telescope IBIS (20keV-10MeV (200 keV) ,~12´)

3 Large Magellanic Cloud
LMC was observed many times in 2003 and Main goal – registration of the 44Ti lines due to a radioactive decay Discovery lines at 67.9 and 78.4 keV (Grebenev et al. Nature 2012) Total exposure ~7Msec (4.8 Msec dead-time corrected)

5 Inhomogeneous of the Local Universe
at low fluxes the curve of AGN counts in the 3C273 region is in good agreement with the same curve averaged over the entire sky LMC (4) 3C273 (14) Krivonos et al. (2007) excess of bright objects, with most of them having low redshifts and being closer than ≈70 Mpc. Lutovinov et al. (2012)

6 High-mass X-ray Binaries
Universal form a~1.6 Grimm et al. (2003) Postnov (2003) Shtykovskiy, Gilfanov (2005) LMC, XMM-Newton Lutovinov et al. (2012) LMC, INTEGRAL Indication of a flatness of LFat low luminosities Shtykovskiy, Gilfanov (2007) SMC, XMM-Newton Is the LF of HMXBs really universal? Only study of MW can help to answer

7 Milky Way

8 9 years Galactic plane survey with INTEGRAL
Dec 2002 – Jan 2011, total exposure 132 Msec, peak sensitivity in keV 2.9x10-12 erg/s/cm2 (0.2 mCrab) Total – 402 sources on the average map, galactic – 252 (108 LMXBs, 75 HMXBs, 36 CVs), Extragalactic – 115 (112 AGNs, 3 GCs) Identification completeness – 91% thanks to efforts of number of groups:Masetti+, Burenin+, Bikmaev+, Nespoli+, Chaty+, Bodaghee+ Rodrigues+, Tomsick+, Landi+, Malizia+, and many others Krivonos et al. (2012)

9 Wind-fed binaries with NS
Complete, flux-limited sample of HMXBs |b|<5º Only sources with known distances and spectral class Exclude BH, gamma-loud binaries (Cyg X-1, Cyg X-3, LSI , etc) Exclude transient sources criteria Fp/Fmean > 0.5 Flux limited 0.7 mCrab (10-11 erg/s/cm2) Final sample includes 37 sources Wind-fed binaries with NS

10 Majority of sources have SG companions

11 INTEGRAL view through the whole Galaxy
Real sensitivity: 2x1035 erg/s 1035 erg/s Limited flux 0.7 mCrab (10-11 erg/s/cm2) The Galaxy was divided into 5 rings 0-2,2-5,5-8, 8-11 and kpc Key tasks: 1) LF and 2) Surface density

12 Luminosity function > 2x1035 erg/s completeness 13 kpc
Cash (1979)

13 Density distribution of the HMXBs vs SFR
Systematic Δ=20% Guesten & Mezger 1982; Lyne, Manchester, & Taylor 1985; Chiappini, Matteucci, & Romano 2001 N≈5x10-2 SFR/SFRΘ

14 Simple model for the wind accretion NS
Luminosity of NS depends on: Companion mass Orbital period

15 Mc rises Formation and evolution Our statistically complete flux-
limited sample provides clues – what determines the HMXB population Porb distribution Mc distribution Mc rises min Mc~7-8MSun

16 dN/dMc ~Mc-2.35 (Salpeter)
dN/dlogP = const (Bhattacharia, Ghosh, 2012) Orbital parameters 90% completeness Lutovinov et al. (2013)

17 SFXT (Supergiant Fast X-ray Transients)
t ~ hours Fm/Fp~104-5 Flux Time, days

18 SFXT (outbursts mechanisms)
Clumpy wind (Walter et al. 2006, Sidoli et al. 2011) Inhibition of the accretion (Grebenev & Sunyaev 2007, Bozzo et al. 2008) Flaring activity due to transition from (stable) radiative cooling to (unstable) Compton cooling

19 Future surveys, predictions
Spectrum XG (Russia+Germany) Launch 2014 Large area 1.18x10-13 erg/s/cm2 ~130 persistent HMXB in MW

20 Conclusions INTEGRAL: first complete survey of HMXB in Milky Way and LMC (absorption ignorant) Inhomogeneous of the Local Universe Dominance of SG systems among persistent sources! Curved shape of HMXB LF Surface density distribution - > SFR Clues to mechanism of SFXT outbursts

21 Exclude transient sources criteria
Fp/Fmean > 0.5
