Gt 2318+620, Xmm-Newton Proposal 02025001

Scientific paper

We propose to use XMM to pin down the classification of the as yet undefined source GT 2318+620 as a Galactic or an extragalactic object. This target has been suggested to be a Radio-Jet X-Ray Binary, based on radio observations and its possible association with one Uhuru X-ray source. Our optical studies of the source revealed a red, almost featureless spectrum and faint extended emission around a point-like core, more characteristic of BL Lacertae objects. Using XMM we wish to obtain the first reliable X-ray detection of GT 2318+620 and determine the true nature of this peculiar source by a careful examination of its X-ray spectrum and variability characteristics. XMM observations will be complemented by simultaneous ground-based optical, near-IR and radio studies.
