Swift/XRT localisation of SAX J1324.4-6200
Abstract
The X-ray source SAX J1324.4-6200 was recently observed by Swift/ XRT for a total of 7.4ks, on 2007-12-21 07:20:40 to 13:32:56 UT (1.6 ks onsource) and 2007-12-30 00:02:31 to 08:21:57 UT (5.8 ks onsource). The source is detected at a >5-sigma level on Dec 21 [at a count rate of CR= (2.88+/-0.53)E-02 counts s^-1], and at a 11.5-sigma level on Dec 30 [CR=(3.82+/-0.33)E-02 counts s^-1]. The position derived with Swift is RA, Dec(J2000) =201.11176, -62.02198, which is equivalent to: RA (J2000): 13h 24m 26.81s Dec (J2000): -62d 01' 19.1" with an uncertainty of 3.8 arcsec (radius, 90% confidence).
