Swift/XRT localization of the neutron star X-ray transient SAX J1806.5-2215
Abstract
Following reports of renewed activity of the transient neutron star low-mass X-ray binary SAX J1806.5-2215 (ATel #3193), we obtained a ~1 ks Swift/XRT pointing of the source field on 2011 March 1. The observation was carried out in the PC mode and reveals one relatively bright X-ray source within the XRT field of view. For this object, we find an astrometrically corrected X-ray position (using the method described by Evans et al.
