Swift localisation of SAX J1750.8-2900
Abstract
Following the report of renewed activity of the neutron star transient SAX J1750.8-2900 (Markwardt & Swank, ATel #1425; see also #1426, #1428), we obtained a target of opportunity observation with the Swift satellite in order to improve its X-ray position. The XRT observations were acquired in Photon counting mode on Mar 17th 2008 at 12:27 UT for 1ks. We detect a bright, piled-up point source in the field of view that unfortunately falls near a detector hot column.
