Swift/XRT follow-up of the X-ray transient XTE J1728-295 during its decaying phase
Abstract
We report a Swift follow-up observation of the very faint X-ray transient source XTE J1728-295 (also IGR J17285-2922, ATel #2825) currently in the decaying phase of its recent outburst (ATel #2823, #2824, #2869). The observation was performed on 2010-10-29 07:07:35 UTC for a duration of 2 ks, and was observed in Photon Counting (PC) mode.
Preliminary results show that there is no pile-up and the average count rate for this observation is about 0.5 c/s.
