New Swift/XRT observations confirm that the active Galactic center transient is AX J1745.6-2901
Abstract
Ongoing Swift/XRT monitoring observations of the Galactic center have allowed us to refine the position of the X-ray transient that is currently active (ATel #5222). Utilizing the position-enhancement algorithm described by Goad et al. (2007) and Evans et al. (2009), we find:
