The XMM-Newton Slew view of IGRJ17361-4441: a transient in the globular   cluster NGC 6388
  IGRJ17361-4441 is a hard transient recently observed by the INTEGRAL satellite. The source, close to the center of gravity of the globular cluster NGC 6388, quickly became the target of follow-up observations conducted by the Chandra, Swift/XRT and RXTE observatories. Here, we concentrate in particular on a set of observations conducted by the XMM-Newton satellite during two slews, in order to get the spectral information of the source and search for spectral variations. The spectral parameters determined by the recent XMM-Newton slew observations were compared to the previously known results. The maximum unabsorbed $X$-ray flux in the 0.5-10 keV band as detected by the XMM-Newton slew observations is $\simeq 4.5\times 10^{-11}$ erg cm$^{-2}$ s$^{-1}$, i.e. consistent with that observed by the Swift/XRT satellite 15 days earlier. The spectrum seems to be marginally consistent ($\Gamma\simeq 0.93-1.63$) with that derived from the previous high energy observation.
