Swift J053321.3-684121 - A candidate HMXB in the LMC
Abstract
During the Swift/UVOT survey of the LMC (PI: S. Immler), we found a serendipitous hard XRT source. The 2 ks enduring observation (00045431001) was performed on 2012-03-13 from 07:21 to 23:40 (UT). The source was found at high off-axis angle (~10') at 05 33 21.3 -68 41 21 (J2000, uncertainty 5.5", 90% confidence) with a net count rate of 0.0090±0.0021 cts s-1. In a 2.9 ks Swift follow-up observation (00032310001) on 2012-03-20 from 09:18 to 11:23 the source was observed on-axis.
