. The INTEGRAL satellite has revealed a previously hidden population of absorbed High Mass X-ray Binaries (HMXBs) hosting supergiant (SG) stars. Among them, IGR J16320–4751 is a classical system intrinsically obscured by its environment, with a column density of ~1023 cm-2, more than an order of magnitude higher than the interstellar absorption along the line of sight. It is composed of a neutron star (NS) rotating with a spin period of ~1300 s, accreting matter from the stellar wind of an O8I SG, with an orbital period of ~9 days. We analyzed all existing archival XMM- Newton and Swift/BAT observations of the obscured HMXB IGR J16320–4751 performing a detailed temporal and spectral analysis of the source along its orbit. Using a typical model for the supergiant wind profile, we simultaneously fitted the evolution of the hard X-ray emission and intrinsic column density along the full orbit of the NS around the SG, which allowed us to constrain physical and geometrical parameters of the binary system.
