چکیده
We report the discovery of a new radio galaxy within the location error box of the γ-ray source 3EG J1735−1500. The galaxy is a double-sided jet source forming a large angle with the line of sight. Optical observations reveal a V ∼ 18 magnitude galaxy at the position of the radio core. Although the association with the EGRET source is not confirmed at the present stage, because there is a competing, alternative γ-ray candidate within the location error contours which is also studied here, the case deserves further attention. The new radio galaxy can be used to test the recently proposed possibility of γ-ray emitting radio galaxies beyond the already known case of Centaurus A.

PSR J 1410 − 6132 : A young , energetic pulsar associated with EGRET source 3 EG J 1410 - 6147
We present the discovery of PSR J1410−6132, a 50-ms pulsar found during a highfrequency survey of the Galactic plane, using a 7-beam 6.3-GHz receiver on the 64-m Parkes radio telescope. The pulsar lies within the error box of the unidentified EGRET source 3EG J1410−6147, has a characteristic age of 26 kyr and a spin-down energy of 10 erg s. It has a very high dispersion measure of 960 ±10 cm pc...
متن کاملPsr J2229+6114: Discovery of an Energetic Young Pulsar in the Error Box of the Egret Source 3eg J2227+6122
We report the detection of radio and X-ray pulsations at a period of 51.6 ms from the X-ray source RX/AX J2229.0+6114 in the error box of the EGRET source 3EG J2227+6122. An ephemeris derived from a single ASCA observation and multiple epochs at 1412 MHz from Jodrell Bank indicates steady spin-down with Ṗ = 7.83 × 10 s s. From the measured P and Ṗ we derive spin-down power Ė = 2.2×10 ergs s, ma...
متن کاملAn inquiry into the nature of the gamma - ray source 3 EG J 1828 + 0142
The unidentified, low-latitude, γ-ray source 3EG J1828+0142 presents high levels of variability and a steep spectral index Γ ∼ 2.7. Here we propose a model for this source where the high-energy emission is produced by a galactic Kerr-Newman black hole. The model takes into account electron-positron annihilation losses in the calculation of the expected spectral energy distribution and can repro...
متن کاملRecent Searches for Pulsars in Unidentified EGRET Error Boxes
Pulsars discovered since the end of the EGRET mission coincident with unidentified highenergy γ-ray sources are prime targets for AGILE. Both general surveys and targeted observations have been successful in finding energetic young pulsars in the plane of the Galaxy. For the latter, hard X-ray imaging followed by deep radio searches of X-ray sources is a proven route. High-resolution Chandra X-...
متن کاملThe dust - enshrouded microquasar candidate AX J 1639 . 0 − 4642 = IGR J 16393 − 4643
We present a multiwavelength study of the field containing the unidentified X-ray source AX J1639.0−4642, discovered with the ASCA observatory and recently detected with the IBIS telescope, onboard the INTEGRAL satellite, dubbed IGR J16393−4643. The huge hydrogen column density towards the source, the hard spectral index in the 0.7–10 keV band and its flux variability suggest that the source is...
