Spectroscopic Identification of the Infrared Counterpart to GX5-1
نویسندگان
چکیده
Using CGS4 on UKIRT, we have obtained a 1.95-2.45 μm infrared spectrum of the primary candidate counterpart to the bright Z LMXB GX5-1. IR photometry by Naylor, Charles, & Longmore (1992) and the astrometry of Jonker et al. (2000) had previously identified this star as the most likely counterpart to GX5-1. The spectrum presented here clearly shows Brackett γ and He lines in emission, for the first time confirming the identity of the counterpart. Similar to our previous spectroscopy of the Z source LMXBs Sco X-1 and Sco X-2 (Bandyopadhyay et al. 1999), the K-band spectrum of GX5-1 shows emission lines only. We briefly discuss the implications of this spectrum for the nature of the Z sources.

Infrared (IR) and ultraviolet (UV) spectroscopic analysis of eight structural isomers of C20 carbon nanostructures, i.e. ring, tadpole, bow-tie, dumb-bell, spiro, propellane, bowl and cage, were performed at different levels of theory including semi-empirical (AM1 and PM3), Hartree-Fock (HF/6-31++G, 6-31++G**) and density functional theory (B3LYP/6-31++G, 6-31++G**). A broad range of IR spectra...

متن کاملInfrared identification of IGR J09026−4812 as a Seyfert 1 galaxy
Context. IGR J09026−4812 was discovered by INTEGRAL in 2006 as a new hard X-ray source. Thereafter, an observation with Chandra pinpointed a single X-ray source within the ISGRI error circle, showing a hard spectrum, and improving its high-energy localisation to a subarcsecond accuracy. Thus, the X-ray source was associated to the infrared counterpart 2MASS J09023731−4813339 whose JHKS photomet...

Using the 100-m Green Bank Telescope, we have conducted a cm-wavelength search for CO J=1-0 line emission towards the high-redshift, far-infrared luminous object, HDF850.1 over the redshift interval 3.3 ∼ z ∼ 5.4. Despite the wealth of existing multi-wavelength observations, and the recent identification of a galaxy counterpart in deep K ′ band (2.2 μm) imaging, an unambiguous spectroscopic red...
