This work from my former PhD student Adam Higgins shows 6 INTEGRAL subthreshold bursts followed up with the NASA Swift mission to probe their X-ray evolution. Image credit: Higgins et al. 2017, MNRAS 470, 314

End of operations for the ESA INTEGRAL mission - for me a highlight was the rapid communication of subthreshold triggers, probing the faint gamma-ray burst population.
