Swift/XRT confirmation of HD 347929/1RXS J180724.2+194217 in X-ray outburst
Abstract
At 00:13UT on June 29th, 2010 Swift/XRT began a 1ks target of opportunity observation of the field of a MAXI reported transient (Usui et al., ATEL #2700). We find inside the MAXI error circle a single bright X-ray source, at the coordinates, RA, Dec (J2000) = 271.8506, +19.7055, which is equivalent to: RA(J2000) = 18h 07m 24.15s, Dec(J2000) = +19d 42m 20.0s, with an estimated uncertainty of 3.5 arc-seconds radius (90% confidence).
