Swift/XRT observations of the X-ray transient in NGC6440
Abstract
Following the discovery of the new INTEGRAL X-ray transient IGR J17488-2018 undergoing an outburst in the direction of the Globular Cluster NGC 6440 (Atel #7098), a 2 ks observation with Swift/XRT was promptly carried out in Photon Counting mode to characterize the source in the soft X-ray domain.
