AbstractThe spectral energy distribution (SED) gives a complete picture of the radiation of space objects and may result in correct classifications compared to those based only on optical (or other local) spectra. This is especially crucial for active galaxies, both AGN and Starbursts (SB). For this, multiwavelength (MW) data are needed taken from available surveys and catalogs. We have cross-correlated the Catalogue of quasars and active galaxies with all-sky or large-area MW catalogues, such as X-ray ROSAT (BSC and FSC), UV GALEX (MIS and AIS), optical APM, MAPS, USNO-B1.0, GSC 2.3.2, and SDSS DR8, NIR 2MASS, MIR/FIR WISE, IRAS (PSC and FSC) and AKARI (IRC and FIS), radio GB6, NVSS, FIRST, and WENSS. We have established accurate positions and photometry for a few thousands of objects that appeared in the catalog with poor data, as well as achieved the best astrometric and photometric data for all objects. This allowed correct cross-correlations and establishing correct MW data for these objects. As a result, we obtained 34 photometric points from X-rays to radio and using VO tools built SEDs for some 10,000 bright objects. Some data from other surveys were also used, such as Chandra, XMM, Spitzer, etc. All objects were grouped into several forms of SED and were compared to the known optical classes given in the catalog (QSO, BLL, Sy1, Sy1.2–1.9, Sy2, LINER, SB, and HII). This allowed reveal obscured AGN, as well as find previously misclassified objects. A homogeneous classification for these objects was established. The first part of this project is presented; establishment of accurate positions and photometry and cross-correlations with MW catalogs.

We observed three blazars at z >  2 with the NuSTAR satellite. These were detected in the γ-rays by Fermi/LAT and in the soft X-rays, but have not yet been observed above 10 keV. The flux and slope of their X-ray continuum, together with Fermi/LAT data allows us to estimate their total electromagnetic output and peak frequency. For some of them we were able to study the source in different states, and investigate the main cause of the different observed spectral energy distribution. We then collected all blazars at redshifts greater than 2 observed by NuSTAR, and confirm that these hard and luminous X-ray blazars are among the most powerful persistent sources in the Universe. We confirm the relation between the jet power and the disk luminosity, extending it at the high-energy end.

Context.γ-ray binaries are systems composed of a massive star and a compact object whose interaction leads to particle acceleration up to relativistic energies. In the last fifteen years, a few binaries have been found to emit at high energies, but their number is still low. The TeV source HESS J1832−093 has been proposed as a binary candidate, although its nature is unclear. Neither a GeV counterpart nor a period was detected. Aims. The purpose of this work is to search for a GeV counterpart to understand the origin of the TeV signal detected by H.E.S.S. For an unambiguous identification of its binary nature, finding an orbital modulation is crucial. Methods. We analysed data spanning more than 10 years from the Fermi Large Area Telescope (Fermi-LAT), together with Swift archival observations taken between 2015 and 2018, using both the X-Ray Telescope and UV/Optical Telescope. We searched for periodicities in both X-ray and GeV bands. Results. We find a periodic modulation of ∼ 86 days in the X-ray source candidate counterpart XMMU J183245−0921539, together with indications of γ-ray modulation with a compatible period in the GeV candidate counterpart 4FGL J1832.9−0913. Neither an optical nor a UV counterpart is found at the X-ray source location. The overall spectral energy distribution strongly resembles the known γ-ray binary HESS J0632+057. Conclusions. Both the spectral energy distribution and the discovery of an orbital period allow the identification of the TeV source HESS J1832−093 as a new member of the γ-ray binary class.

We present in this contribution the predictions on the multiwavelength spectral energy distribution of our evolutionary population synthesis models including single and binary stellar systems. The high energy computations include the emission associated to X-ray binaries and supernovae remnants, as well as the mechanical energy released into the interstellar medium, which can be partially reprocessed into thermal X-rays. With these components we compute the spectral energy distribution of starburst galaxies from X-ray to radio ranges, and analyze finally the effects of the high energy emission on the H and He ionizing continuum.

AbstractStars in the very early stages of their formation are characterized by strong infrared excess and X-ray emission. We present the results of the survey of Orion A in both the infrared and X-rays obtained with the Spitzer and XMM/Newton observatories. We study the spectral-energy distribution class of the young stellar object (YSO) population using infrared colors from 2mass and Spitzer (IRAC and MIPS) and by means of X-ray fluxes, luminosities and plasma temperatures. We discuss clustering properties and spatial segregation among different infrared YSO classes to trace their formation history.

In this work, spectral energy distribution has been calculated for a sample of 597 Fermi blazars. Based on the calculation, we proposed a classification for subclasses of blazars as lower synchrotron peak sources (LSPs) if [Formula: see text], intermediate synchrotron peak sources (ISPs) if [Formula: see text], higher synchrotron peak sources (HSPs) if [Formula: see text], ultra higher synchrotron peak sources (UHSPs) if [Formula: see text]. [Formula: see text]-ray luminosity is found correlated with lower energetic wavebands (radio, optical and X-rays). When redshift effect is removed, correlations are still strong for FSRQs; As for BL lacertaes, correlation between [Formula: see text]-ray and radio or between [Formula: see text]-ray and optical band is strong, but that between [Formula: see text]-ray and X-ray is only marginal.

ABSTRACT The acceleration and radiative processes active in low-power radio hotspots are investigated by means of new deep near-infrared (NIR) and optical Very Large Telescope (VLT) observations, complemented with archival, high-sensitivity VLT, radio Very Large Array (VLA), and X-ray Chandra data. For the three studied radio galaxies (3C 105, 3C 195, and 3C 227), we confirm the detection of NIR/optical counterparts of the observed radio hotspots. We resolve multiple components in 3C 227 West and in 3C 105 South and characterize the diffuse NIR/optical emission of the latter. We show that the linear size of this component (≳4 kpc) makes 3C 105 South a compelling case for particles’ re-acceleration in the post-shock region. Modelling of the radio-to-X-ray spectral energy distribution (SED) of 3C 195 South and 3C 227 W1 gives clues on the origin of the detected X-ray emission. In the context of inverse Compton models, the peculiarly steep synchrotron curve of 3C 195 South sets constraints on the shape of the radiating particles’ spectrum that are testable with better knowledge of the SED shape at low (≲GHz) radio frequencies and in X-rays. The X-ray emission of 3C 227 W1 can be explained with an additional synchrotron component originating in compact (<100 pc) regions, such those revealed by radio observations at 22 GHz, provided that efficient particle acceleration (γ ≳ 107) is ongoing. The emerging picture is that of systems in which different acceleration and radiative processes co-exist.

AbstractSymbiotic binaries consist of a few sources of radiation contributing to spectral energy distribution (SED) from hard X-rays to radio wavelengths. To identify the basic physical processes forming the observed spectrum, we have to disentangle the composite SED into its individual components of radiation, i.e., to determine their physical parameters. Spectral disentangling of different objects at different stages of activity allows us to understand the mechanism of their outbursts. In this contribution I demonstrate the method of multiwave-length modeling SEDs on the example of two classical symbiotic stars, AG Dra and Z And.

Aims. We aim to analyse our study of the X-ray transient Swift J1745−26, using observations obtained from its outburst in September 2012, up to its decay towards quiescence in March 2013. Methods. We obtained optical and infrared observations, through override programme at ESO/VLT with FORS2 and ISAAC instruments, and added archival optical (VLT/VIRCAM), radio and X-ray (Swift) observations, to build the light curve and the broad-band spectral energy distribution (SED) of Swift J1745−26. Results. We show that, during its outburst and also during its decay towards quiescence, Swift J1745−26 SED can be adjusted, from infrared up to X-rays, by the sum of both a viscous irradiated multi-colour black body emitted by an accretion disc, and a synchrotron power law at high energy. In the radio domain, the SED arises from synchrotron emission from the jet. While our SED fitting confirms that the source remained in the low/hard state during its outburst, we determine an X-ray spectral break at frequency 3.1 ≤ νbreak ≤ 3.4 × 1014 Hz, and a radio spectral break at 1012 Hz ≤ νbreak ≤ 1013 Hz. We also show that the system is compatible with an absorption AV of ∼7.69 mag, lies within a distance interval of D ∼ [2.6 − 4.8] kpc with an upper limit of orbital period Porb = 11.3 h, and that the companion star is a late spectral type in the range K0–M0 V, confirming that the system is a low-mass X-ray binary. We finally plot the position of Swift J1745−26 on an optical-infrared – X-ray luminosity diagram: its localisation on this diagram is consistent with the source staying in the low-hard state during outburst and decay phases. Conclusions. By using new observations obtained at ESO/VLT with FORS2 and ISAAC, and adding archival optical (VLT/VIRCAM), radio and X-ray (Swift) observations, we built the light curve and the broad-band SED of Swift J1745−26, and we plotted its position on an optical-infrared – X-ray luminosity diagram. By fitting the SED, we characterized the emission of the source from infrared, via optical, up to X-ray domain, we determined the position of both the radio and X-ray spectral breaks, we confirmed that it remained in the low-hard state during outburst and decay phases, and we derived its absorption, distance interval, orbital period upper limit, and the late-type nature of companion star, confirming Swift J1745−26 is a low-mass X-ray binary.
