We collected the parameters (position, absorption, spin, orbital period, etc..), when known, of all Galactic sources detected by INTEGRAL during its four first years of activity. We use these parameters to test theoretical predictions. For example, it is clear that HMXBs tend to be found mostly in the tangential direction of the Galactic arms, while LMXBs tend to be clustered in the Galactic bulge. We then focus on HMXBs and present two possible new tools, in addition to the well‐known “Corbet‐diagram”, to distinguish between Be‐HMXBs and Sg‐HMXBs.

(2010) proposed by X-ray/Optical observations that the large nebula, S26, is produced by energy injection via powerful jets, of which the kinetic luminosity is estimated to exceed the photon luminosity, Lkin > Lph, by three orders of magnitude (see also Pakull & Grisé 2008).”
- THE FIRST ACCURATE PARALLAX DISTANCE TO A BLACK HOLE (2009, background): “…added three archival datasets, two of which have already been reported (Miller-Jones et al. 2008, 2009), and one in which the source was previously not significantly detected (Mioduszewski et al. 2008), but knowing the astrometric parameters of the source, we were able to detect it at the 5σ level.”
