Swift follow-up of the flaring blazar PKS 0736+01
Abstract
Following the flaring activity of the flat spectrum radio quasar PKS 0736+01 at redshift z = 0.18941 (Ho & Kim 2009, ApJS, 184, 398) observed in gamma rays by Fermi-LAT (LAT GCN 1, LAT GCN 2) and by AGILE-GRID (ATel #12733), a Swift target of opportunity observation was performed on May 20. Swift-XRT data were taken in Photon Counting mode for a net exposure of about 2.0 ksec.
