Trigger 1035744: Swift detection of Sco X-1 due to Star Tracker loss of lock
Abstract
At 01:09:41 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) was triggered on a noise event (trigger=1035744). Swift did not slew due to Star Tracker loss of lock problems. The BAT on-board calculated location is RA, Dec 244.831, -15.786, which is RA(J2000) = 16h 19m 19s Dec(J2000) = -15d 47' 08" with an uncertainty of 3 arcmin (radius, 90% containment, including systematic uncertainty). The BAT light curve shows no signal but this is typical for an image trigger and Star Tracker problems.
