Abstract

The Galactic Bulge region is a rich host of variable high-energy point sources. These sources include bright and relatively faint X-ray transients, X-ray bursters, persistent neutron star and black-hole candidate binaries, X-ray pulsars, etc.. We have a program to monitor the Galactic Bulge region regularly and frequently with the γ-ray observatory INTEGRAL. As a service to the scientific community the high-energy light curves of all the active sources as well as images of the region are made available through the WWW. We show the first results of this exciting new program. © 2006 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
