Swift and CBA Observations of TT Ari on 2009 October 16
Abstract
We observed the nova-like cataclysmic variable (CV) TT Ari, which is <A HREF='http://www.aavso.org/publications/specialnotice/ 172.shtml'>currently undergoing a fading episode</A>, with Swift between 2009 October 16 01:31 UT and 09:02 UT. The X-ray telescope (XRT) was operated in photon counting mode and accumulated 4,400 s of good exposure during this interval. The UV/optical telescope (UVOT) was used with the U filter in imaging mode, with an integration time also of 4,400 s.
