IGR J17497-2821: Refined Swift/XRT Analysis
Abstract
IGR J17497-2821 (e.g. Soldi et al., ATEL #885) has been observed by the Swift/XRT on 4 occasions from Sept 19th, 2006 to Sept 26th, 2006, since being initially detected by INTEGRAL on Sept 17th, 2006. We report on a refined analysis of these combined data. Swift/XRT positions for this source previously reported have been inconsistent (e.g. Walter et al., ATEL #889, Chaty et al., ATEL #897), this is most likely due to the point source falling on hot columns in the XRT detector, making accurate centroiding of the source difficult.
