Published Papers
Miscellaneous :

Hill et al. 2005 :
  • NH~7 x 1022 cm-2
  • orbital period 4.57 days
  • pulsation at 139.47 s
Walter et al. 2006:
  • possible soft excess and marginal K-alpha line (EW ~ 33 eV)
  • NH = 9.1(+-0.5)x1022 at/cm2
  • IR counterpart (1.1 arcsec away) has a K-band magnitude of 11.4
  • unabsorbed flux (2-100 keV) is 1.1x10-10 ergs/cm2/s
  • Masetti et al. 2008:
    • Optical spectroscopy is presented and detailed
    • Hαin emission
    • R=16.9
    • d~10 kpc
    • Early BIII companion not a Sg (SEE HOWEVER CHATY ET AL. 2008)
    Chaty et al. 2008:
    • Optical and infrared observations
    • 1 additional bright source within XMM error box, and a fainter one
    • 2MASS source is favoured due to closest position to the centre of XMM error box, and NIR brightess
    • J=12.81, H=11.95, Ks=11.50
    • Hydrogen (α to ζ) and HeII emission lines in optical, Paschen and Brackett series in IR, HeI and He II in IR
    • Tentative P-Cygni profile in some lines
    • NIR spectra typical of supergiant (SEE HOWEVER MASETTI ET AL. 2008).
    • SED fitting => Tstar=20800 K typical of B sg. Likely distance 11.9 kpc
    Torrejón et al. 2010 A&A:
    • Optical spectroscopy
    • Companion is a B1 Ib
    • distance 12.4 kpc
    • Typical Sg-HMXB
    Masson et al. 2011 A&A:
    • NIR observations
    • Refine spectral type to B0-1 I
    • Mass comprised in the 18.6+/-0.8 -- 21.8 +/- 2.4 Msun depending on the assumptions used.
    • Estimates for the mass of the neutron star of 1.4 +/-2 -- 1.6 +/- 0.3 Msun
    Falanga et al. 2015 (A&A):
    • Use of RXTE/ASM and INTEGRAL/ISGRI long term light curve to update ephemeris, refine orbital period decay
    • T0, ecl. = 52168.245 (MJD), POrb., ecl=4.5697, dot(P)/P=-21e-6/yr
