Swift/XRT Observation of MAXI J1828-249 in the Hard State
Abstract
The black hole candidate X-ray transient MAXI J1828-249 was discovered on 2013 October 15 (ATEL#5474). While it may have briefly been in the hard state (ATEL#5476, ATEL#5483), it soon made a transition to a soft state, and both thermal disk-blackbody and power-law components were detected (ATEL#5479, ATEL#5492). The source has not been observable with Swift since mid-November because of a sun angle constraint, but it just became visible again.
