摘要:Despite not being specifically designed for the study of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), the INTE- GRAL satellite is giving a relevant contribution to this field with the detection of ∼10 GRB year−1 in the IBIS field of view. The ground-based INTEGRAL Burst Alert System (IBAS) has provided real-time localizations with 2-3 arcmin accuracy for most of these events. The INTE- GRAL sample now comprises 81 bursts, including 4 of the short class. IBAS has also revealed other transient events from various classes of Galactic sources, most notably short bursts and flares from magnetar candidates. Here I present a summary of the IBAS performances in the eight years since the INTEGRAL launch and review some of the INTEGRAL results for GRBs and Soft Gamma-ray Repeaters.
