The Quiescent Optical Counterpart to Swift J174510.8-262411
Abstract
The new transient Swift J174510.8-262411 (Cummings et al. 2012, GCN#13744; Cummings et al. 2012, GCN #13745) is within the field of the Galactic Bulge Survey (Jonker et al. 2011, ApJS, 194, 18) and was observed twice with Chandra/ACIS-I on 2008 May 16 and 17, for 2 ks each. The source was not detected in either image to the survey limit of 7.7e-14 erg/cm^2/s (0.3-8.0 keV).
Optical imaging of the field in the SDSS r' filter was obtained from 2010 July 9-16 using the CTIO 4m Blanco telescope and Mosaic-2 camera.- Publication:
