INTEGRAL monitoring of the Galactic Plane is revealing a growing number of recurrent X-ray transients, characterised by short outbursts with very fast rise times (~ tens of minutes) and typical durations of a few hours. Here we show that several of these transients are associated with OB supergiants and hence define a new class of massive X-ray binaries which we call Supergiant Fast X-ray Transients (SFXTs). Many other transient X-ray sources display similar X-ray characteristics, suggesting that they belong to the same class. Since they are difficult to detect and their number is growing fast and steadily, they could represent a major class of X-ray binaries.

Two Periodic Activity Epochs in FRB 20201124A: Coincident with Critical RM Evolution Epochs and Its Implications
Two periodic burst epochs of FRB 20201124A are claimed to coincide with RM transition epochs at a nominal chance probability of 0.07%, and a linear spin-down fit gives an initial period of 1.7060155 s and a derivative...
