Published Papers
Miscellaneous :
Krivonos et al. 2009 ATel 2170, Lutovinov et al. 2012 (Astr. Lett):
  • Optical spectroscopy => Spectrum typical of XBONG
  • z=0.11295
  • Core has R~17.5-18
  • Possibly highly absorbed source
Masetti et al. 2010 (A&A) :
  • Optical spectroscopy of the counterpart (aka USNO A2.0 1200_08150164)
  • No emission line, nuclear activity seen only thanks to X-ray => XBONG
  • Association with NVSS source => confirms AGN nature
  • z=0.113
