X-ray pulsar A 0535+262 reached 3 Crab: update with Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory
Abstract
Earlier we reported the Swift/BAT detection of renewed activity in the X-ray pulsar A 0535+262 (ATel #14157). Since the source was in the rising phase and the flux was increased to ~755 mCrab on UTC 6th November 2020 (MJD 59159), we proposed Swift ToO monitoring observation to find the state of the source.
