Description
We present a first INTEGRAL observation of the 42 s transient X-ray pulsar EXO 2030+375 with IBIS/ISGRI. The source was detected during Cyg X-1 observations in December 2002. We analyzed observations during the outburst period from 9 to 21 December 2002 with a total exposure time of ~ 770 kilosec. EXO 2030+375 was almost always detected during single ~ 30 min exposures in the 18-45 energy bands. The source light curve shows the characteristic outburst shape observed in this source. Based on observations with INTEGRAL, an ESA project with instruments and science data centre funded by ESA member states (especially the PI countries: Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Spain), Czech Republic and Poland, and with the participation of Russia and the USA.
