Refined position for Ginga 1843+009 with the Swift/XRT
Abstract
The hard X-ray transient pulsar and high-mass X-ray binary system Ginga 1843+009 was recently reported to be in outburst (Krimm et al, ATel #1959). Observations of this source were performed with the X-Ray Telescope (XRT) on Swift covering 2169 total seconds beginning at 2009-03-15 12:31:14 UT. The source was strongly detected in the XRT and the position was determined to be RA(J2000) : 18h 45m 36s.9 (281.40372 deg) Dec (J2000): +00d 51' 48".2 (+0.86338 deg) with an estimated uncertainty of 1.5'' radius (90% confidence).
