Abstract
I review the properties of three X‐ray accreting millisecond pulsars observed with INTEGRAL. Out of seven recently discovered accretion‐powered pulsars (one discovered by INTEGRAL), three were observed with the INTEGRAL satellite up to 300 keV. Detailed timing and spectral results will be presented, including data obtained during the most recent outburst of the pulsar HETE J1900.1–2455. Accreting X‐ray millisecond pulsars are key systems to understand the spin and accretion history of neutron stars. They are also a good laboratory in which to study the source spectra, pulse profile, and phase shift between X‐ray pulses in different energy ranges which give additional information of the X‐ray production processes and emission environment.
