Published papers
Miscellaneous :
Bikmaev et al. 2006 : z=0.0844, Sey 1
Masetti et al. 2006: (A&A)
  • association with Rosat source
  • Optical spectrum
  • Several lines
  • z=0.084±0.01
Rodriguez et al. 2008:
  • Refined X-ray position consistent with optical position of Bikmaev et al. 2006
  • Strongly suggest X-ray source is indeed a Sey 1
  • J=13.369, H=12.584, K=11.438
  • mUVM2>19.4; mUVW2>20.2
  • Absorbed power law fits 0.5-9 keV spectra well, Γ= 1.6 NH=0.7 x1022cm-2; F2-10 keV=1.4x 10-11 erg/s/cm2
Khorunzev et al. 2012:
  • Etimate of mass and accretion rate based on different methods
  • Correltion with bulge luminosity => M ≤~ 108.35 MSun and LEdd ≤~ 1046.45 erg/s
  • LBol ≥~ 0.122 LEdd
