Swift detection of a new transient Swift J1728.9-3613
Abstract
At 01:22:25 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and located a new transient which we name Swift J1728.9-3613 (trigger=886157, GCN #23800). The BAT on-board calculated location is RA, Dec 262.232, -36.237 which is RA(J2000) = 17h 28m 56s, Dec(J2000) = -36d 14' 13", with an uncertainty of 3 arcmin (radius, 90% containment, including systematic uncertainty).
