Source Notes:
This source was moved to the Default Catalogue on 191118.
This source was announced in an
ATel on 161001
Source Position:
From
Mirzoyan et al.:
- the position reported is identical to that given in
NED
R.A. (J2000): 20h39m23.5s
Dec. (J2000): +52d19m50s
Flux:
From
Mirzoyan et al.:
- the flux above 200 GeV is approx. 3% of the Crab Nebula flux
Spectral Properties:
From
MAGIC Collaboration (2019):
The data were fit with a simple power-law spectrum of the form:
- dN/dE = F0 x (E/E0)^-A
- F0: 5.6 +/- 0.6 x10e-12 cm-2 s-1
- A: 2.3 +/- 0.2
- E0: 400 GeV
The integral flux above 300 GeV is 1.8 +/- 0.4 x10e-12 cm-2 s-1
Distance:
- the redshift of z = 0.053 comes from
Nilsson et al (2003)
Classification:
From
Mirzoyan et al.:
- "Its X-ray and gamma-ray spectra is hard, which suggest this source
may be an extreme HBL"
From
Veron-Cetti & Veron (2006):
- this object is classified as a BL Lac
