MAXI J1847-004: Swift observation and identification with Swift J1845.7-0037
Abstract
At 13:22UT on October 14, 2019, Swift began a 7-tile observation of the error region of the newly discovered transient MAXI J1847-004 (ATEL #13189). We find a single bright X-ray point source in the observations, at the following coordinates: RA/Dec(J2000) = 281.47797, -0.65953, which is equivalent to: RA(J2000) = 18h 45m 54.71s, Dec(J2000) = -00d 39m 34.3s, with an estimated uncertainty of 2.4 arc-seconds radius (90% confidence).
