摘要:Since its launch on October 2002, the INTEGRAL satellite has revolutionized our knowledge of the hard X–ray sky thanks to its unprecedented imaging capabilities and source detection positional accuracy above 20 keV. Nevertheless, many of the newly-detected sources in the INTEGRAL sky surveys are of unknown nature. The combined use of available information at longer wavelengths (mainly soft X–rays and radio) and of optical spectroscopy on the putative counterparts of these new hard X–ray objects allows pinpointing their exact nature. Continuing our long-standing programrunning since 2004, here we report the classification, through optical spectroscopy, of 19 more unidentified or poorly studied high-energy sources detected with the IBIS instrument onboard INTEGRAL.
