Swift detection of a likely new SGR: SGR 0755-2933
Abstract
We cross post this from GCN #19204, as we believe it will be of interest to the wider astronomical community. At 22:41:24 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and located a burst from an apparent new Soft Gamma Repeater, SGR 0755-2933 (trigger=679432).
