Swift/BAT observes a new outburst from the SFXT SAX J1818.6-1703
Abstract
The Swift/BAT triggered on a new outburst of the Supergiant Fast X-ray Transient SAX J1818.6-1703 on 2009 November 4 at 07:24:10 UT. Swift did not perform a slew to the target, hence no narrow-field instrument observations are available. Using the data set from T-239 to T+780 s, the mask- weighted light curve shows that the source was active when the location came into the BAT FOV at T-239 s.
