Remarks: |
The optical Variability of the Seyfert galaxy FBQS J161047.7+330337 was detected
during investigation of scanned photographic plates of Moscow collection.
To test the possibility of variable-star search on scanned
photographic plates, we used 80 scans of photographic plates taken with the
Crimean 40-cm astrograph. Just a small fraction of each 10x10 degree photographic
plate
(about 1.2x1.2 degrees, centered on the RR Lyrae variable VY CrB) was used for
the test.
The plates were scanned with a CREO EverSmart Supreme II scanner at the
2400 dpi resolution and examined with VAST software
(Sokolovsky and Lebedev, 2005). As a result, we detected a previously
unknown variable-star-like object, which was identified as the Seyfert galaxy
FBQS J161047.7+330337 (16h10m47.7s +33d03m38s, J2000).
According to the NASA/IPAC Extragalactic Database (NED), it is a Seyfert 1.5 galaxy at z=0.0973. It was first identified as an AGN by Baade et al. (1995). The photographic light curve of FBQS J161047.7+330337 in 1973 - 1975 is presented in Fig. 2. It shows variations with a small amplitude (about 0.3mag) superposed on a 0.9mag trend. A 2MASS image of FBQS J161047.7+330337 is presented in Fig. 1. Images in J, H, and K bands are presented in this false-color figure as the B, G, and R colours respectively. An optical companion about 3" away from the galaxy at PA=226 deg. is visible. It has a slightly different color. It is not clear if the companion is related to the galaxy or not. The finding chart for FBQS J161047.7+330337 is presented in Fig. 3. ![]() Fig.1 A false-color infrared image of FBQS J161047.7+330337. The blue, green, and red colors correspond to the J, H and K bands respectively. This image was obtained as a part of the Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS), a joint project of the University of Massachusetts and the Infrared Processing and Analysis Center/California Institute of Technology, funded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and the National Science Foundation. |
