Identification of the Periodic Hard X-Ray Transient GRO J1849-03 with the X-Ray Pulsar GS -1843-02 = X1845-024: A New Be/X-Ray Binary
Abstract
We identify the periodic transient hard X-ray source GRO J1849-03 with the transient X-ray pulsar GS 1843-02 = X1845-024 on the basis of the detection of X-ray outbursts from X1845-024 coincident with hard X-ray outbursts of GRO J1849-03. From its spin period of 94.8 s and its orbital period of 241 days, we classify the system as a Be/X-ray binary.
