Abstract:
Sources of X-ray radiation are very interesting and at the same time little studied. Their class mainly includes objects that exhibit a certain activity, such as AGNs, cataclysmic variable stars, white dwarfs, pulsars, etc. Identification of X-ray sources is a rather difficult task, and it is not always possible to detect an optical object. In this work, we tried to carry out a spectral classification of X-ray AGNs and identify activity classes, taking as a basis the ROSAT BSC/FSC catalog of X-ray AGNs, compiled on the basis of low-dispersion spectral plates of the first Byurakan survey. We identified these objects with the SDSS spectral catalog and tried, by carefully studying the spectra, to find out their activity classes, as well as to understand which activity class is more common in these sources.
