Swift Observations Confirm XTE J1824-141 = IGR J18246-1425
Abstract
After the report of a 120 second pulsar, XTE J1824-141 (ATEL #1679), and of a possible INTEGRAL counterpart (IGR J18246-1425; Stephen et al., ATEL #1680), we obtained preliminary Swift XRT observations of a small part of the RXTE PCA error circle (ATEL #1681). In that observation, only a single source was found, consistent with the IGR source position. We obtained further Swift XRT observations which almost completely cover the PCA error circle (observed mostly on 2008-08-28).
