18 Mar 1999 | | Journal: | Mon.Not.Roy.Astron.Soc. 305 (1999) L49 | | Subject: | astro-ph | | Affiliation: | Sussex), P.A. Charles (Oxford), M.J. Coe (Southampton | | Abstract: | We present optical and infrared observations of the soft X-ray transient (SXT) XTE J2012+381 and identify the optical counterpart with a faint red star heavily blended with a brighter foreground star. The fainter star is coincident with the radio counterpart and appears to show weak H alpha emission and to have faded between observations. The RXTE/ASM lightcurve of XTE J2012+381 is unusual for an SXT in that after an extended linear decay, it settled into a plateau state for about 40 days before undergoing a weak mini-outburst. We discuss the nature of the object and suggest similarities to long orbital period SXTs. | | Source: | arXiv, astro-ph/9903282 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
