Swift Monitoring of the AGN Outburst in NGC2617: Significant X-ray and UV Brightening
Abstract
Following the ASAS-SN discovery of a strong optical outburst and Seyfert type change in the nucleus of NGC 2617 (Shappee et al. 2013, ATel #5010), we obtained seven (eight) Swift TOO observations of this source with the XRT (UVOT), respectively, from 2013 UT May 1 to 2013 UT May 8. The lightcurve of these observations can be found here.
