Title:Identifying Be/X systems using INTEGRAL




Abstract:Since its launch in 2002, INTEGRAL is observing the hard X-ray sky, 
scanning regularly the galactic plane.  The mission has provided us with a 
valuable data set of BeX observations. We have analysed the spectra and light 
curves of every single detection of BeX systems using ISGRI. The goal of this 
work is to compare the temporal and spectral behaviour of the BeX systems 
respect to other types of High Mass X-ray Binaries. We will show that BeX 
systems tend to show harder spectra than those of Supergiant X-ray Binaries
and that the use of the statistical normalised variance seems to be a 
promising tool to identify source type.
