Swift/XRT detection of X-ray emission from a symbiotic binary and another source in the field of IGR J17197-3010
Abstract
We report the Swift/XRT detection of two sources in the field of IGR J17197-3010. Swift observed the field of IGR J17197-3010 for a total of 10394 s between 2010-03-05 and 2012-02-12, detecting the first source at a 6.4 sigma level with a count rate of 0.0087+/-0.0014 counts/s at the coordinates alpha = 17h 19m 51.7s and delta = -30d 02' 0.6" (with an error radius of 4.3"). These XRT coordinates are consistent with the position of a symbiotic star at alpha = 17h 19m 51.83s and delta =-30d 02m 0.3s that Massetti et al.
