Abstract

X-ray;Transients
We report a Swift observation of a new X-ray transient discovered by RXTE (ATel #623) and INTEGRAL (ATel #624). The X-ray Telescope (XRT) observation was obtained in Photon Counting (imaging) mode on 2005 October 12 00:52:58 UT and the on-source exposure time is about 1000s. The source is clearly detected with significant pile-up. The bright point source is located at R.A.=17:26:50.2, Dec.=-47:38:26 and is about 1.2 arcmin from the INTEGRAL position (ATel #624).
