Swift XRT detection of the Integral ISGRI source IGR J2018+4043.
Abstract
We observed the field around the hard X-ray source IGR J2018 +4043 (Bykov et al. 2004, A&A, 427, L21) with Swift (total exposure 5 ks) and detected a point-like source in the XRT image at R.A. = 20:18:38.5, decl. = +40:41:00.4 (uncertainty 4.2 arcsec radius at 90% confidence level), consistent with the ISGRI position and possibly with the position of the unidentified CGRO EGRET source 3EG J2020+4017.
