Published Papers
Miscellaneous :

Ibarra et al. 2008 ATel 1397:
  • XMM source: 4-σ detection, but likely a genuine source (0.5% chance probability of false detection
  • 2 other Rosat sources within INTEGRAL error box
  • 3 X-ray sources not associated, 1 only the counterpart to the IGR
Parisi et al. 2008 ATel 1800:
  • Optical spectroscopy of XMMSL1 J164303.7+653253
  • Optical counterpart is USNO-A2.0 1500-06133361, with R ~ 18.9
  • Optical spectrum of the source: blue continuum + several redshifted emission features among which:
    Hβ, Hγ, Hδ, and Hε Balmer lines, and narrow [OII] and [OIII] line
  • z=0.323+-0.001
  • XMMLS1 J164303.7+653253 = Seyfert 1 AGN
  • Confident about the association of the XMM source and the INTEGRAL one=>IGR J16426+6536 is a Sey 1 AGN
Masetti et al. 2009:
  • Optical spectroscopy
  • Narrow Line Sey 1
  • vBLR=1900 km/s, MBH=1.1e7 MSUN
Butler et al. 2009:
  • Optical spectroscopy
  • Sey 1.5 at z=0.323
  • MBH=0.9e7 MSUN
