Published Papers
Miscellaneous :
:
  • NH = 1022 at/cm2
  • Short period binary (?)
  • dipping behavior (~30% dips; ~5 min duration) (Markwardt and Swank 2003 Atel 156)
Walter et al. 2006:
  • soft excess explained by partially covered absorber and marginal K-alpha line (EW < 10 eV)
  • NH = 4.5(+-0.7)x1022 at/cm2, or 2.70(+-0.15)x1022 at/cm2 if partial-covering absorber included
  • IR counterpart (4.9 arcsec away) has a K-band magnitude of 12.9 (SEE HOWEVER CHATY ET AL. 2008)
  • unabsorbed flux (2-100 keV) is 3.4x10-10 ergs/cm2/s
Bazzano et al. 2006 (ApJ):
  • 43/-0.5 mCrab in 100-150 keV.
Brandt et al. 2007: < ATel 1054
  • Detection of 2 X-ray bursts with JEM-X
  • Bursts shape are FRED-like, e-folding time of about 5 seconds.
  • Confirms IGR J17597-2201 is a burst source
  • Current burst recurrence time could be of 3-10 hours.
Chaty et al. 2008:
  • Optical and infrared observations
  • 2MASS candidate is outside the XMM error
  • 1 bright and 2 faint candidates in error box, plus 2 additional at the bborder.
  • No definite answer to which is true counterpart. Analysis of the brightest is presented
  • Discussion on type of the source, and LMXB suggested
Ratti et al. 2010:
  • Chandra and Optical observations
  • Single optical counterpart in Chandra error box
  • Position consistent with candidate 1 of Chaty et al.
Bodaghee et al. 2012 (ApJ) :
  • Non detection with Chandra => 2-10 keV 3-σ upper limit = 1.5E-12 erg/cm2/s
  • Boundary on quiescent flux
Zolotukhin & Revnivtsev 2015 (MNRAS) :
  • Counterpart in UKIDSS, GLIMPSE (G007.5695+00.7703) catalogues
  • J=16.58; H=14.87; K=13.89; m3.6=13.224; m4.5=13.230; m5.8=12.93; m4.5>12.6
  • Accretion from a stellar wind in an LMXB => source is a Symbiotic XRB
