摘要:

最近用XMM-牛顿对本星系群旋涡星系M 31的巡天观测得到了大量的X射线源。这是一系列论文中的第二篇,目的是确定这些X射线源的光学对应物。我们用希腊克里特岛的1.3米Skinakas望远镜获得了M 31方向20个X射线源的21个明亮光学对应物的光谱。对于20个X射线源中的17个,我们已经确定了在前景(即在银河系中)的光学对应物是正常的晚型恒星(F型或更晚)。对于另外两个来源,在每种情况下都有两种可能的光学对应物,而另外两个物体具有与晚期类型非耀斑恒星的光谱特征不相容的X射线特性。

英文摘要:

A recent survey of the Local Group spiral galaxy M 31 with XMM-Newton yielded a large number of X-ray sources. This is the second in a series of papers with the aim of identifying the optical counterparts of these X-ray sources. We have obtained optical spectra for 21 bright optical counterparts of 20 X-ray sources in the direction of M 31, using the 1.3-m Skinakas telescope in Crete, Greece. For 17 of the 20 X-ray sources, we have identified the optical counterpart as a normal late type star (of type F or later) in the foreground (i.e. in the Milky Way). For two more sources there were two possible optical counterparts in each case, while two more objects have X-ray properties that are not compatible with the spectral characteristics of late type non-flaring stars.
