Flares from a new Integral hard X-ray source, IGR J17407-2808 likely associated with the ROSAT source SBM 10
Abstract
On Oct 9, 2004 Integral observed hard X-ray flares from a source located at R.A.=17h 40.7m, Dec.=-28s 08' (J2000, error radius 2.3'). This new hard X-ray source, IGRJ17407-2808, is positionally coincident with a faint ROSAT source listed as no. 10 in the catalogue of sources in the Galactic Center region by <a href=http://www.edpsciences.org/articles/aa/full/2001/12/aah2501/ aah2501.html> Sidoli, Belloni & Mereghetti 2001, A&A 368, 835</a> and as 2RXPJ174040.9-280852 in the <a href=http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/cgi-bin/rosat/src-browser> ROSAT Source Browser</a>.
