Swift observations of a new bright outburst of the SFXT IGR J17544-2619
Abstract
The Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered on a new outburst from the Supergiant Fast X-ray Transient (SFXT) IGR J17544-2619 on 2011 March 24 at 01:56:57 UT (image trigger=449907). Swift immediately slewed to the target, so that the narrow field instruments started observing about 126.4 s after the trigger. Currently, BAT telemetry has been downlinked for the time interval covering from T-120 to T+180 s since the trigger.
