ULX NGC 7319- X4和NGC 5474- X1的精确位置及其光学对应物的限制幅度

Accurate positions for the ULXs NGC 7319-X4 and NGC 5474-X1 and limiting magnitudes for their optical counterparts

M. Heida, P. G. Jonker, M. A. P. Torres, S. Mineo

摘要:

本文报道了两个超亮X射线源:NGC 7319-X4在赤经(RA)= 339.02917(2)deg,赤经(Dec)= 33.97476(2)deg和NGC 5474-X1在RA = 211.24859(3)deg,Dec = 53.63584(3)deg的精确Chandra位置。我们对这些源的钱德拉X射线卫星观测进行了孔瞄准校正,以获得X射线源的准确位置,并将这些位置与哈勃太空望远镜上的宽视场和行星相机2的存档光学数据进行匹配。我们没有找到光学对应物:WFPC 2标准星等系统中观测到的极限绝对星等是NGC 7319-X4的B =-7.9,V = -8.7,I = -9.3,NGC 5474-X1的U = -6.4。我们报告的X射线光谱特性,我们发现在NGC 5474-X1的X射线变化的证据。最后,我们简要讨论了这些ULX的性质的几个选项。

英文摘要:

In this paper we report accurate Chandra positions for two ultraluminous X-ray sources: NGC 7319-X4 at Right Ascension (RA) = 339.02917(2) deg, Declination (Dec) = 33.97476(2) deg and NGC 5474-X1 at RA = 211.24859(3) deg, Dec = 53.63584(3) deg. We perform bore-sight corrections on the Chandra X-ray Satellite observations of these sources to get to these accurate positions of the X-ray sources and match these positions with archival optical data from the Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 on board the Hubble Space Telescope. We do not find the optical counterparts: the limiting absolute magnitudes of the observations in the WFPC2 standard magnitude system are B = -7.9, V = -8.7 and I = -9.3 for NGC 7319-X4 and U = -6.4 for NGC 5474-X1. We report on the X-ray spectral properties and we find evidence for X-ray variability in NGC 5474-X1. Finally, we briefly discuss several options for the nature of these ULXs.
