Swift XRT confirmation of HD 306414 as the counterpart to IGR J11215-5952
Abstract
Following the report of renewed activity in the hard X-ray transient IGR J11215-5952 (ATEL #469, #766), we have obtained a Swift TOO observation of the field covering this X-ray source. An X-ray Telescope (XRT) observation was obtained during 2006 March 20 18:50-19:02UT in Photon Counting mode with 640s on source. A single faint X-ray source was detected in the field of view with a mean event-rate of 0.05 counts/sec.
