Swift follow-up of the optical transient MASTER OT 082752.77+704606.0
Abstract
Following the report in ATel #3255 on the discovery and spectroscopy of the optical transient MASTER OT 082752.77+704606.0, observations were performed in ultraviolet and X-ray bands by the Swift satellite. The observations had a total exposure time of 2.1ks and were conducted on 2011-04-06 during two visits of the source separated by 97.8 minutes (one orbit). The transient is clearly visible in W2 band Swift/UVOT ultraviolet images at a position of 08:27:52.81 +70:46:07.8 (+/-0.5", J2000), 1.8" away from the position reported in ATel #3255.
