Swift follow-up confirms S4 1030+61 as the counterpart of 1FGL J1033.8+6048
Abstract
Following the Fermi-LAT detection of a GeV flare from 1FGL J1033.8+6048 on 2010 May 14 (ATel #2622), Swift Target of Opportunity observations were performed on May 17 in order to identify which of the two suggested flat-spectrum radio quasars is associated with the flaring gamma-ray source: S4 1030+61 or GB6 J1032+6051 (separated by 7'). Of these two candidates S4 1030+61 was found in a high X-ray and UV/optical state, while GB6 J1032+6051 was in a low state below the detection limit in both bands.
