Chandra Identification of the Transient in Terzan 5: Not the 2000 Transient.
Abstract
We triggered a Chandra ToO observation of the ongoing outburst of a transient source in the globular cluster Terzan 5 (ATel #2919, #2920, #2922, #2924, #2929, #2932, #2933, #2937, #2939, #2940, #2946, #2952, #2958). The 9.9 ks observation was taken with the ACIS S3 chip in imaging mode and began on 2010-10-24 at 19:30:29 UTC.
Inspection of the new Chandra data (ObsID 11051) reveals three low-luminosity X-ray sources that are also seen in a deeper Chandra observation (ObsID 3798) from 2003 (Heinke et al.- Publication:
