X-ray follow-up work on a set of unassociated sources listed in the Palermo Swift/BAT 100-month catalogue

RLR. LandiLBL. Bassani

Key Points

  • The aim is to identify X-ray counterparts for unassociated sources in the Palermo Swift/BAT catalogue.
  • Utilized X-ray telescope (XRT) for observations
  • Localized sources with high positional accuracy
  • Investigated optical, infrared, and radio counterparts
  • Reported on spectral behavior and multi-wavelength properties
  • Successfully detected likely counterparts for several sources
  • Provided log of XRT observations for each source
  • Detailed spectral behavior observed in detected counterparts

Abstract

In the following, we report on a preliminary study aimed at searching the X-ray counterpart to a set of still unassociated sources listed in the Palermo Swift/BAT 100-month catalogue. By exploiting the capability of the X-ray telescope (XRT, 0.2-10 keV) onboard the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory to localise the sources with a positional accuracy of few arcseconds, the search for optical/UV, infrared, and radio counterparts is more efficient and reliable. Each source is discussed in a dedicated section in which we report the log of the XRT observations, the likely counterparts detected, their spectral behaviour, and their multi-wavelength properties.
