A New 626 s Periodic X-ray Source in the Direction of the Galactic Center
- Abstract:
-
Here we report the detection of a 626 s periodic modulation from the X-ray source 2XMM J174016.0-290337 located in the direction of the Galactic center. We present temporal and spectral analyses of archival XMM-Newton data and photometry of archived near-infrared data in order to investigate the nature of this source. We find that the X-ray light curve shows a strong modulation at 626 +/- 2 s with a confidence level > 99.9% and a pulsed fraction of 54%. Spectral fitting demonstrates that t...
