摘要:

在这里,我们报告了两个硬X射线源的观测结果,这两个源最初是用INTEGRAL卫星发现的:IGR J 04059 +5416和IGR J 08297 -4250。我们使用钱德拉X射线天文台来定位源,然后归档近红外图像来识别对应物。这两个源在扩展的2微米全天巡天源目录中都有对应的源,而IGR J 04059 +5416的对应源先前已被确定为星系。因此,我们把IGR J 04059 +5416归入活动星系核(AGN)的范畴,并认为IGR J 08297 -4250也是一个活动星系核。如果这个识别是正确的,近红外图像表明IGR J 08297 -4250的宿主星系可能正在与附近一个较小的星系合并。对于IGR J 04059 +5416,由Chandra和INTEGRAL得到的0.3-86 keV谱符合吸收幂律,其柱密度为NH = 3.1(+2.0)(-1.5 e22 cm-2),光子指数为Gamma = 1.4+/-0.7,我们认为它是一个Seyfert星系。对于IGR J 08297 -4250,光子指数相似,伽马= 1.5+/-0.8,但源被高度吸收(N_H = 6.1(+10.1)(-4.3 e23 cm-2)。

英文摘要:

Here, we report on observations of two hard X-ray sources that were originally discovered with the INTEGRAL satellite: IGR J04059+5416 and IGR J08297-4250. We use the Chandra X-ray Observatory to localize the sources and then archival near-IR images to identify the counterparts. Both sources have counterparts in the catalog of extended 2 Micron All-Sky Survey sources, and the counterpart to IGR J04059+5416 has been previously identified as a galaxy. Thus, we place IGR J04059+5416 in the class of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN), and we suggest that IGR J08297-4250 is also an AGN. If this identification is correct, the near-IR images suggest that the host galaxy of IGR J08297-4250 may be merging with a smaller nearby galaxy. For IGR J04059+5416, the 0.3-86 keV spectrum from Chandra and INTEGRAL is consistent with an absorbed power-law with a column density of N_H = 3.1(+2.0)(-1.5)e22 cm-2 and a photon index of Gamma = 1.4+/-0.7, and we suggest that it is a Seyfert galaxy. For IGR J08297-4250, the photon index is similar, Gamma = 1.5+/-0.8, but the source is highly absorbed (N_H = 6.1(+10.1)(-4.3)e23 cm-2).
