Published Papers
Miscellaneous :
Bulgarelli et al. 2009 ATel 2017:
  • Possible counterpart to AGL J1734-3310
Vercellone et al. 2009ATel 2019:
  • Swift observations => 2 sources within INTEGRAL error box
  • First is the counterpart
  • Flux increase by a factor of 10 in 7 hours
  • Spectrum well fitted by an absorbed bbody, kT=1.4 keV, and NH=5 x 1022 cm-2
Tomsick 2009ATel 2022:
  • Chandra observation => 2 sources, slightly offset from Swift positions
  • Source 1 is the counterpart in agreement with Swift.
  • 2MASS J17352760-3255544 has J=12.51, H=10.99, and Ks=10.27
  • Absorbed power law, NH=7.5 x 1022 cm-2, Γ=0.54
  • HMXB suggested
D'ai et al. 2010ATel 2596:
  • Strong modulation at 8.452d in the 15-50 keV BAT light curve=> orbital period of the system.
  • Folded light curve is structured with an inferred eclipse at 52726.25 ± n P_orb
  • Spectral analysis of the total spectrum is also provided

Dai et al. 2011 (MNRAS) :
  • 8.448d periodicity from Swift/BAT lc
  • XRT analysis of pointings occurring on two different orbital phases
  • Two possible counterparts in the IBIS error box : non-detection of the favored one at the expected phase of lowest activity => further associate it to the IBIS source
  • Spectrum : absorbed (NH = 10.6 x 1022 cm-2) power law (Γ=2.6)
  • Cut off improves the fit and slightly modify the parameters but cut off poorly constrained (>18 keV).

Sguera et al. 2011 (MNRAS) :
  • Long term INTEGRAL monitoring of IGR J17354-3255 + results from Swift observations
  • Weak and persistent source + occasional X-ray flares
  • Swift => (maximum flux)/(non-detection) > 300.
  • Confirm the 8.4 day period
  • Supergiant X-ray binary, although ratio of flux variations => intermediate SFXT
  • Associated with AGL J1734-3310 ?

Bozzo et al. 2012 (A&A) :
  • XMM-Newton observation
  • Two X-ray candidates, only one favoured
  • Spectral analysis
  • Source is an SFXT

Ducci et al. 2013 (A&A) :
  • Swift monitoring spanning 1.2 orbital periods
  • Unambiguous association with src 1 (see Tomsick et al. 2009)
  • X-ray light curve => moderated orbital modulation and dip
  • Eclipse or onset of gated mechanism most likely explanation for the dip
Coleiro et al. (2013) :
  • NTT/Sofi NIR Spectroscopy
  • He I in absorption
  • O8.5Iab(f) or O9Iab companion
