Swift J1910.2-0546: Swift localization of a bright X-ray and optical counterpart
Abstract
We report on Swift follow-up observations of Swift J1910.2-0546 (e.g. ATEL #4139, ATEL #4140) with the Swift X-ray Telescope (XRT). On June 1st at 14:41UT Swift began a target of opportunity observation of the BAT error circle of Swift J1910.2-0546, the XRT was configured into Photon Counting (PC) mode in order to obtain an accurate localization. We detect a very bright, uncatalogued X-ray source at the following location: RA/Dec (J2000) = 287.59491 , -5.79943, which is equivalent to.....
