摘要:

我们继续研究RXTE天文台于2002年发现的快速X射线瞬变XTE J1901+014,其性质尚未确定。基于2006年XMM-Newton对该源的观测,我们得到了该源在0.5-12 keV能量范围内的能谱、光变曲线和功率谱,这些结果与我们以前从其他天文台获得的结果吻合得很好。反过来,这表明源的发射在静止状态下是稳定的。XMM-Newton观测还使源的定位精度提高到<2”,这随后使我们能够用RTT-150和6米BTA(特殊天体物理天文台)望远镜搜索它的光学伴星。结合光学、X射线和红外观测,我们得出的结论是,所研究的系统中的光学伴星可能是一颗距离为几千秒差距的晚型星,也可能是一颗非常遥远的红巨星,或者是一颗A星或F星。因此,XTE J1901+014可能是第一个低质量快速X射线瞬变。

英文摘要:

We continue to study the fast X-ray transient XTE J1901+014 discovered in 2002 by the RXTE observatory, whose nature has not yet been established. Based on the XMM-Newton observations of the source in 2006, we have obtained its energy spectrum, light curves, and power spectrum in the energy range 0.5-12 keV, which are in good agreement with our results obtained previously from the data of other observatories. In turn, this suggests that the source's emission is stable in the quiescent state. The XMM-Newton observations also allowed the source's localization accuracy to be improved to <2", which subsequently enabled us to search for its optical companion with the RTT-150 and 6-m BTA (Special Astrophysical Observatory) telescopes. Combining optical, X-ray, and infrared observations, we have concluded that the optical companion in the system under study can be either a later-type star at a distance of several kpc or a very distant red giant or an A or F star. Thus, XTE J1901+014 may be the first low-mass fast X-ray transient.
