Context. IGR J18410-0535 is a supergiant fast X-ray transients. This subclass of supergiant X-ray binaries typically undergoes fewhour-long outbursts reaching luminosities of 10 36 –10 37 erg s −1 , the occurrence of which has been ascribed to the combined effect of the intense magnetic field and rotation of the compact object hosted in them and/or the presence of dense structures (“clumps”) in the wind of their supergiant companion. Aims. IGR J18410-0535 was observed for 45 ks by XMM-Newton as… CONTINUE READING
