چکیده
Aims. We determine the nature of the intermediate polar candidates XSS J00564+4548, IGR J17195–4100, and XSS J12270–4859. Methods. Pointed RXTE observations searched for intermediate polar characteristics in these candidate systems. Results. XSS J00564+4548 exhibits a period of 465.68 ± 0.07 s, which we interpret as the spin period, an energy dependent modulation depth, and a spectrum that is fit by a 22 keV photoelectrically absorbed bremsstrahlung with an iron line profile. IGR J17195–4100 shows several candidate periodicities and a spectrum that is fit by a power law with an iron line. XSS J12270–4859 exhibits a candidate spin period of 859.57 ± 0.64 s and a spectrum that is fit by a power law with no evidence of an iron line. Conclusions. XSS J00564+4548 is confirmed to be an intermediate polar. IGR J17195–4100 and XSS J12270–4859 both show some properties of intermediate polars, but cannot be confirmed as definite members of the class here.

متن کاملXss J 00564 + 4548 and Igr J 00234 + 6141 — New Cataclysmic Variables from Rxte and Integral All Sky Surveys
We present the results of optical identification of two X-ray sources from RXTE and INTEGRAL all sky surveys: XSS J00564+4548 and IGR J00234+6141. Using the optical data from Russian-Turkish 1.5-m Telescope (RTT150) and SWIFT X-ray observations, we show that these sources most probably are intermediate polars, i.e. binary systems with accreting white dwarfs with not very strong magnetic field (...
متن کاملTime-resolved optical observations of five cataclysmic variables detected by INTEGRAL
The ESA γ-ray telescope, INTEGRAL, is detecting relatively more intrinsically rare cataclysmic variables (CVs) than were found by surveys at lower energies. Specifically, a large fraction of the CVs that are INTEGRAL sources consists of asynchronous polars and intermediate polars (IPs). IP classifications have been proposed for the majority of CVs discovered by INTEGRAL, but, in many cases, the...
متن کاملSuzaku X-ray Study of an Anomalous Source Xss J12270–4859
We report the results of the Suzaku X-ray observation of XSS J12270–4859, one of the hard X-ray sources in the INTEGRAL catalogue. The object has been classified as an intermediate polar (IP) by optical spectra and a putative X-ray period of ∼860 s. With a 30 ks exposure of Suzaku, we obtained a well-exposed spectrum in the 0.2–70 keV band. We conclude against the previous IP classification bas...
متن کاملA state change in the low - mass X - ray binary XSS J 12270 − 4859
Millisecond radio pulsars acquire their rapid rotation rates through mass and angular momentum transfer in a low-mass X-ray binary system. Recent studies of PSR J1824−2452I and PSR J1023+0038 have observationally demonstrated this link, and they have also shown that such systems can repeatedly transition back-and-forth between the radio millisecond pulsar and low-mass X-ray binary states. This ...
