Swift observes the XMM-Newton Slew Survey bright transient XMMSL1 J063045.9-603110
Abstract
The new bright soft X-ray source XMMSL1 J063045.9-603110, discovered on 1st December 2011 by ESA's XMM-Newton in its Slew Survey mode [ATel #3811] has been observed by Swift on 20th December 2011 for 2.9 ksec. The Swift-XRT position, enhanced by Swift-UVOT field astrometry, is RA: 06 30 45.52 Dec: -60 31 12.9, with an error radius of 2.1 arcseconds (90% confidence). This is coincident with the new object not visible in DSS or 2MASS, but recently detected with GROND [ATel #3813].
