新IGR的X射线随访观察

X-ray follow up observations of new IGRs

Jerome Rodriguez, Arash Bodaghee, John A. Tomsick

摘要:

自2002年INTEGRAL发射以来,已发现约300个新的放射源。了解这些天体的性质对于天体物理学的许多方面都至关重要,例如恒星的演化,来源(银河系和银河系外)的人口,以及最终为它们提供动力的物理学。然而,它们的性质不能从软伽马射线观测中确定。揭开这些源的本质的第一步是精确它们的X射线位置,以便最终找到其他波长的对应物。X射线光谱对于获得有关天体性质的线索也是至关重要的。自2003年发现第一个IGR以来,我们的团队一直活跃在这些研究的几个方面。在这里,我们介绍了我们通过7年的多工具(Chandra,XMM,Swift,RXTE)活动获得的主要结果。

英文摘要:

Since the launch of INTEGRAL in 2002, about 300 new sources have been discovered. Understanding the nature of these objects is of prime importance for many aspects of astrophysics, such as the evolution of stars, population of sources (Galactic and extra-Galactic), and ultimately the physics powering them. However, their nature cannot be established from the soft gamma-ray observations. The first step towards unveiling the nature of those sources is to refine their X-ray position, in order to finally find counterparts at other wavelengths. X-ray spectra are also of prime importance to obtain clues on the nature of the objects. Since the discovery of the first IGR in 2003, our group has been active in several aspects of these studies. Here, we present the main results we have obtained through 7 years of multi-instrumental (Chandra, XMM, Swift, RXTE) campaigns.
