16 Apr 2013 | Abstract: | With respect to the recent INTEGRAL/IBIS 9-year Galactic Hard X-ray Survey
(Krivonos et al. 2012), we use archival Swift/XRT observations in conjunction
with multi-wavelength information to discuss the counterparts of a sample of
newly discovered objects. The X-ray telescope (XRT, 0.3-10 keV) on board Swift,
thanks to its few arcseconds source location accuracy, has been proven to be a
powerful tool with which the X-ray counterparts to these IBIS sources can be
searched for and studied. In this work, we present the outcome of this analysis
by discussing four objects (SWIFT J0958.0-4208, SWIFT J1508.6-4953, IGR
J17157-5449, and IGR J22534+6243) having either X-ray data of sufficient
quality to perform a reliable spectral analysis or having interesting
multiwaveband properties. We find that SWIFT J1508.6-4953 is most likely a
Blazar, while IGR J22534+6243 is probably a HMXB. The remaining two objects may
be contaminated by nearby X-ray sources and their class can be inferred only by
means of optical follow-up observations of all likely counterparts. | Source: | arXiv, 1304.4405 | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites |
