Flaring and periodic variations in the optical photometry of Swift J1910.2-0546
Abstract
We report optical time-series photometry of the optical counterpart of the recently discovered high-energy transient Swift J1910.2-0546/MAXI J1910-057 (Krimm et al., ATel #4139, Usui et al., ATel #4140) obtained with 0.35-m to 0.5-m class telescopes in Australia, Chile and the UK. Five other observations were taken with the Faulkes Telescope South with an r' filter on 2012 June 14. Subsequent time-series observations were obtained on 2012 June 27, 28, 29, July 1, 6 and 7 with individual runs or data sets lasting for between 2 and 7 hours.
