Accurate localization of hard X-ray sources in the Galactic Center region. Search for HMXBs in the bulge
Abstract
Deep surveys of the Galactic Center performed with ASCA and INTEGRAL observatories provided us the well-defined sample of persistent hard X-ray galactic sources in this direction. Follow up observations allowed ones already to determine an origin of many of them. We propose to perform a set of snapshot observations of five remaining sources to measure accurately their coordinates and to fill the gap in the identification completeness of both surveys. Based on results of this proposal we will study these sources in other wavebands, using the VVV and UKIDSS surveys as well as observations with optical/infrared telescopes, to obtain their SEDs, to estimate of types of these object as well as distances to them. An additional purpose of our project is a searching for HMXBs in the Galactic bulge
