Localization of the hard X-ray transient IGR J17062-6143
Abstract
INTEGRAL has observed the field containing the hard X-ray transient IGR J17062-6143 (Churazov et al. 2007), starting at 2008-11-03T19:56 U.T., with an effective exposure time of 95 ksec. The position of IGR J17062-6143 derived from the IBIS/ISGRI data is RA=256.5462, DEC=-61.6697 with an uncertainty of 4 arcmin. The source was detected with 4.5+-0.8 mCrab in the 20-40 keV band. The hard X-ray spectrum can be modeled by a single power law with photon index 2.8+-0.7, or by a black body with kT = 7+-2 keV.
