Abstract

Abstract We present the results of our X-ray, ultraviolet, and optical follow-up campaigns of 1RXS J165424.6-433758, an X-ray source detected with the Swift Deep Galactic Plane Survey. The source X-ray spectrum (Swift and NuSTAR) is described by thermal bremsstrahlung radiation with a temperature of kT = 10.1 ± 1.2 keV, yielding an X-ray (0.3–10 keV8) luminosity L X = (6.5 ± 0.8) × 10 31 erg s −1 at a Gaia distance of 460 pc. Spectroscopy with the Southern African Large Telescope revealed a flat continuum dominated by emission features, demonstrating an inverse Balmer decrement, the λ 4640 Bowen blend, almost a dozen He i lines, and He ii λ 4541, λ 4686, and λ 5411. Our high-speed photometry demonstrates a preponderance of flickering and flaring episodes, and revealed the orbital period of the system, P orb = 2.87 hr, which fell well within the cataclysmic variable (CV) period gap between 2 and 3 hr. These features classify 1RXS J165424.6-433758 as a nearby polar magnetic CV.

极地突变变量1RXS j165424.6 - 43758的鉴定

摘要:本文介绍了Swift深银面巡天探测到的x射线源1RXS j165424.6 - 43758的x射线、紫外线和光学跟踪活动的结果。源X射线光谱(Swift和NuSTAR)由温度为kT = 10.1±1.2 keV的热轫致辐射描述，在Gaia距离为460 pc处产生X射线(0.3-10 keV8)光度L X =(6.5±0.8)× 10 31 erg s−1。南部非洲大望远镜的光谱显示了一个平坦的连续体，主要是发射特征，显示出反向巴尔默衰减，λ 4640 Bowen混合，近12条He i线，He ii λ 4541， λ 4686和λ 5411。我们的高速光度测量显示了闪烁和耀斑事件的优势，并揭示了系统的轨道周期，P球= 2.87小时，正好落在2到3小时之间的突变变量(CV)周期间隙内。这些特征将1RXS j165424.6 - 43758归类为近极磁CV。
