Swift/BAT detects an outburst from EXO 2030+375
Abstract
Observations with the Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) on Swift show that the Be/neutron star binary EXO 2030+375 is currently in outburst in the 15-50 keV energy range. The high energy outburst started about June 21, 2006 (MJD 53906) four days after the outburst was first detected by the RXTE All-Sky Monitor (ATel #843, Corbet & Levine). The count rate rose steadily from 0.04 +/- 0.007 cts/sec/cm^2 on June 21 to a peak of 0.17 +/- 0.017 cts/s/cm^2 on July 9.
