Swift/XRT detection and localization of IGR J01583+6713
Abstract
At 00:00 UT on December 13th, 2005 Swift began a Target of Opportunity observation of IGR J01538+6713, a recently discovered hard X-ray transient source discovered by INTEGRAL (Steiner et al., ATEL #672). Analysis of 5ks of XRT data from this observation reveals a single point source inside the INTEGRAL 2 arcminute radius error circle at the following coordinates: RA = 01:58:18.2, Dec = +67:13:25.9 (J2000), with an estimated uncertainty of 3.5 arcseconds (90% containment).
