We report the association of the INTEGRAL source IGR J18027-2016 with the BeppoSAX source SAX J1802.7-2017. IGR J18027-2016 is seen to be a weak, persistent source by the IBIS/ISGRI instrument on board INTEGRAL with an average source count rate of 0.55 counts s^-1 ( 6.1 mCrab) in the 20-40 keV band. Timing analysis performed on the ISGRI data identifies an orbital period of 4.5696 +/- 0.0009 days and gives an ephemeris of mid-eclipse as, Tmid = 52931.37 +/- 0.04 MJD. Re-analysis of archival

... oSAX data has provided a mass function for the donor star, f(m) = 16 +/- 1 Msun and a projected semimajor axis of axsini = 68 +/- 1 lt-s. We conclude that the donor is an OB-supergiant with a mass of 18.8-29.3 Msun and a radius of 15.0-23.4 Rsun. Spectra obtained by XMM-Newton and ISGRI indicate a high hydrogen column density of NH = 6.8 x 10^22 cm^-2, which suggests intrinsic absorption. The source appears to be a high mass X-ray binary with the neutron star emitting X-rays through wind-fed accretion while in an eclipsing orbit around an OB-supergiant.
