Identification of four RXTE Slew Survey sources with nearby luminous active galactic nuclei
Abstract
Based on RXTE scans and observations with the SWIFT/XRT telescope and INTEGRAL observatory, we report the identification of four X-ray sources discovered during the RXTE Slew Survey of the |b|>10° sky with nearby (z∼0.017-0.098) luminous (L2-10~keV∼ 5× 1042-1044 erg s-1) active galactic nuclei. Two of the objects exhibit heavily intrinsically absorbed X-ray spectra (NH∼ 1023 cm-2).
