We report on optical spectroscopy of five such sources for which X-ray observations at lower energies (~0.5-10 keV) and higher angular resolutions than INTEGRAL have allowed for unique optical counterparts to be located. We find that IGR J16426+6536 and IGR J22292+6647 are Type 1 Seyfert active galactic nuclei (with IGR J16426+6536 further classified as a Seyfert 1.5) which have redshifts of z=0.323 and z=0.113, respectively. IGR J18308-1232 is identified as a cataclysmic variable (CV), and we confirm a previous identification of IGR J19267+1325 as a magnetic CV. IGR J18214-1318 is identified as an obscured high mass X-ray binary (HMXB), which are systems thought to have a compact object embedded in the stellar wind of a massive star. We combine Chandra fluxes with distances based on the optical observations to calculate X-ray luminosities of the HMXB and CVs, finding L_(0.3-10 keV)=5e36 erg s^-1 for IGR J18214-1318, L_(0.3-10 keV)=1.3e32 erg s^-1 for IGR J18308-1232, and L_(0.3-10 keV)=6.7e32 erg s^-1 for IGR J19267+1325.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2009-03-06T21:46:36.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "optical spectroscopy", "integral sources", "identification", "international gamma-ray astrophysics laboratory", "obscured high mass x-ray binary" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "The Astrophysical Journal", "year": 2009, "month": "Jun", "volume": 698, "number": 1, "pages": 502 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 8, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 814940, "adsabs": "2009ApJ...698..502B" } } }
