Identification of four RXTE Slew Survey sources with nearby luminous active galactic nuclei

Astrophysics 2009-11-11 v2

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|>10deg sky with nearby (z ~ 0.017-0.098) luminous (log L_2-10keV ~ 42.7-44 erg/s) active galactic nuclei. Two of the objects exhibit heavily intrinsically absorbed X-ray spectra (NHL~10^23 cm^-2).
