| 内容記述 | The Aerial V X-ray source 2A 1704+241 (= 4U 1700+24 = 3A 1703+241) is identified with the M3 II star HD 154791. The identification is based on a precise X-ray position determined by the HEAO 1 scanning modulation collimator and the Einstein Observatory imaging proportional counter, together with a spectrum measured by the International Ultraviolet Explorer. The ultraviolet spectrum shows strong emission of C IV 1550 A, N v 1238 A, and Mg II 2800 A, which is very unusual among M giants. This is the first X-ray detection of an M giant which has a completely normal optical spectrum. The X-ray luminosity reaches three orders of magnitude above the mean upper limit for the coronal X-ray flux from M giants. Although there is no direct evidence for a binary system, since radial velocity variations have not been observed, it is shown that a plausible neutron star binary model can be constructed. |
