Miscellaneous :

Landi et al. 2010ATel 3065:
  • Swift observations
  • Two sources are detected with XRT
  • Second source favoured although on the border of 99% IBIS error box
  • More significant (~10 sigma), and also a hard (detected > 3 keV)
  • Coincident with an R ~16, B ~18 USNO-A2.0 object , and is also listed in the 2MASS catalogue (J ~16, H ~15 and K ~14)
  • Position is also compatible with 1RXS J215604.4+595607.
Bikmaev et al. 2010ATel 3072:
  • 2MASS J21560418+5956045 (=USNO-B1.0 1499-0325257) is the counterpart
  • Sey 1 AGN at z = 0.208
Tomsick et al. 2012 (ApJ):
  • Chandra refinement of the X-ray position
  • Confirm all previously suggested associtations
Masetti et al. 2013 (A&A):
  • Optical / NIR observation + spectroscopy of counterpart
  • Sey 1 @ z=0.209
