Swift obervation of PSN J10250739+1709146 in NGC 3239
Abstract
The optical transient, PSN J10250739+1709146, was discovered by Moore, Newton and Puckett at 2012/01/07.387 (ref. http://www.cbat.eps.harvard.edu/unconf/followups/J10250739+1709146.html), and localised in NGC 3239 (z=0.002512). Spectroscopy at 2012/01/10.275 confirms this source as a young SN II (Cao et al., ATel #3855). A Swift-ToO was executed to observe the field of this SN starting from 2012/01/10.774 (exposure time: 2390s), with the primary aim to constrain any accompanying X-ray emission.
