First results of observations of transient pulsar SAXJ2103.5+4545 with the INTEGRAL observatory

We present preliminary results of observations of X-ray pulsar SAX J2103.5+4545 with INTEGRAL observatory in Dec 2002. Maps of this sky region in energy bands 3-10, 15-40, 40-100 and 100-200 keV are presented. The source is significantly detected up to energies of $\sim100$ keV. The hard X-ray flux in the 15-100 energy band is variable, that could be connected with the orbital phase of the binary system. We roughly reconstructed the source spectrum using its comparison to that of Crab nebula. It is shown that the parameters of the source spectrum in 18-150 keV energy range are compatible with that obtained earlier by RXTE observatory

Review of low-mass X-ray binaries near the Galactic center

Results of observations of several LMXBs in the Galactic center region carried out with the ART-P telescope on board \Granat observatory are briefly reviewed. More than dozen sources were revealed in this region during five series of observations which were performed with the ART-P telescope in 1990-1992. The investigation of the spectral evolution of persistent emission of two X-ray bursters GX3+1 and KS1731-260, discussion of QPO and spectral variations detected from the very bright Z-source GX5-1 and studying the pulse profile changes of the pulsar GX1+4 were carried out.
