Swift follow-up of the flaring blazar B2 1633+38 (4C +38.41)
Abstract
Following the unprecedented optical outburst (ATel #12025) and the gamma-ray flare detected by AGILE (ATel #12026) and Fermi LAT (ATel #12027) on 2018 September 9, a Swift target of opportunity observation of the flat spectrum radio quasar B2 1633+38 (also known as 4C +38 41) was performed on September 13. Swift/XRT data were taken in Photon Counting mode for a net exposure of about 1.9 ksec.
