Swift observations show MAXI J0051-736 is a new outburst of SMC X-2
Abstract
At 02:00UT on September 24th, 2015, Swift began a target-of-opportunity of the error region of MAXI J0051-736 (Negoro et al., ATEL #8088). We performed a 7-point tiling observation in Photon Counting mode (PC), with 500s exposure per tile in order to ensure coverage of the MAXI error circle.
