Parisi et al. 2008 ATel 1710:
  • Optical spectroscopy of candidates counterparts of XMMLS1 J183049.6-123218
  • Spectrum of USNO-A2.0 0750-13371563 (RA = 18 30 49.88, DEC = -12 32 18.7 with R ~ 17.0) shows a red continuum, possibly absorbed by the Galactic dust along the line of sight + several Balmer, HeI and HeII narrow emission lines
  • z ~0.
  • EW~ 22 Angstrom.
  • Spectrum resembles that of a CV
  • Relative strength of the HeII emission line =>presence of a magnetic white dwarf
  • USNO-A2.0 0750-13371563 is the optical counterpart of IGR J18308-1232, => Cataclysmic Variable, possibly magnetic white dwarf
Masetti et al. 2009:
  • d~320 pc
  • Av=0.67
Butler et al. 2009:
  • Optical spectroscopy
  • Optical spectrum typical of either CVs or LMXBs, but X-ray spectrum is however too hard for LMXB
  • V=17.1, R=17.1, I=16.2
  • Distance d~220 pc
  • NH=0.31 x 1022 cm-2
Tomsick et al. 2009:
  • Chandra observation
  • Chandra spectrum differs from XMM one
  • NH=0.4 x 1022 cm-2, Γ=0.54
Bernardini et al. 2012 (A&A):
  • Multi-wavelengths observations
  • Pulse and orbital periods = 1820s , 4.2 hr
  • Broad band spectral analysis
  • Disc overflow accretion mode
  • MWD~0.85 Msun at d~100 pc
Thornstensen & Halpern 2013 (ApJ):
  • Optical observations => V=17.95, B-V=+0.34 V-I= 1.171
  • Results consistent with previous ones => slightly double peaked Hα emission line
  • Periodicity (radial profile) at ~5.4 hr. If 1 cycle/d higher => 4.39 hr close to previous results
