Chandra Localization of SAX J1806.5-2215
Abstract
As part of an ongoing Chandra X-ray Observatory program for precise localization of X-ray transients in low-mass X-ray binaries, we obtained a short Chandra/ACIS-S observation of the neutron star transient/X-ray burster SAX J1806.5-2215 during its current outburst (ATEL #3193, #3202, #3210). Our observation was made on 2011 March 7, 23:59 TT with an exposure time of 916 s. We used a (1/8)-subarray of the S3 chip with 0.4 s readout time in order to minimize photon pileup.
