Swift/XRT localization of IGR J17361-4441 in the globular cluster NGC 6388
Abstract
A Swift/XRT follow-up observation of IGR J17361-4441 (ATEL #3565) has been carried out in photon counting mode on 2011-08-16 from 16:59 to 19:03 UT (exposure time 1.9 ks), to refine the transient position.
We propose an astrometrically-corrected X-ray position of: RA, Dec = (264.0729, -44.7353) which is equivalent to: RA (J2000): 17 36 17.5 Dec (J2000): -44 44 07.1 The 90% c.l. confinement radius is 2.1 arcsec.- Publication:
