IGR J17329-2731ks. It was detected within the positional uncertainty provided by INTEGRAL IBIS imagery.[2] It was described as the birth of a symbiotic X-ray binary,[1] a "first" in the lifecycle of an interacting binary star, or a zombie neutron star brought back to life by its neighboring red giant. When first described in 2017, it was seen as an X-ray flare "from an unknown source" in the direction from the galactic (Milky Way) center.[3]
