Abstract

We present preliminary results on Herschel/PACS mid/far-infrared photometric observations of INTEGRAL supergiant High Mass X-ray Binaries (HMXBs), with the aim of detecting the presence and characterizing the nature of absorbing material (dust and/or cold gas), either enshrouding the whole binary systems, or surrounding the sources within their close environment. These unique observations allow us to better characterize the nature of these HMXBs, to constrain the link with their environment (impact and feedback), and finally to get a better understanding of the formation and evolution of such rare and short-living supergiant HMXBs in our Galaxy. ; Comment: Proceedings of the 9th INTEGRAL Workshop and celebration of the 10th anniversary of the launch "An INTEGRAL view of the high-energy sky (the first 10 years)", accepted for publication in Proceedings of Science (editors: F.
