dc.descriptionKS 1741-293 was firstly detected in 1989 with the X-ray wide field camera TTM (3-10 keV) on board of the Rontgen-Kvant-Mir observatory. During these observations this source exhibited two X-ray bursts allowing to identify it as a neutron star in a Low mass X-ray Binary. During the BeppoSAX/WFC monitoring of the Galactic Centre Region, KS 1741-293 was also reported at a flux level of 6 mCrab in the 2-9 keV and 25 mCrab in the 9-25 keV energy range. Thanks to the deep and regular INTEGRAL observation of the Galactic Centre region, KS 1741-293 has been observed by the X-ray monitor JEM-X and the imager IBIS in a wide energy range, giving for the first time relevant information on its high energy behaviour. Furthermore, two X-ray bursts have been detected by JEM-X. We report on IBIS and JEM-X data analysis in terms of flux monitoring, spectral proprieties and bursts detection. The data reduction has been done with the most recent release of the standard analysis software (OSA 5.0).
