A magnetar-like burst from 1RXS J170849.0-400910
Abstract
We report the detection of a magnetar-like burst from 1RXS J170849.0-400910 (1708). 1708 is an 11.0 s magnetar (see e.g. Dib & Kaspi 2014 and references therein) that is being monitored as part of an ongoing study of several magnetars with the Swift XRT (see Scholz et al 2014).
