S. D. Barthelmy (GSFC), J. A. Kennea (PSU), D. M. Palmer (LANL),
M. C. Stroh (PSU) and C. A. Swenson (PSU) report on behalf of the
Swift Team:
At 23:06:51 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered on probably
noise in the image domain near the on-board catalog source NGC0746
(trigger=600914). Swift did not slew because of the Sun observing constraint.
The BAT on-board calculated location is RA, Dec 29.393, +44.977, which is
RA(J2000) = 01h 57m 34s
Dec(J2000) = +44d 58' 36"
with an uncertainty of 3 arcmin (radius, 90% containment, including
systematic uncertainty). The BAT real-time light curve does not show anything
significant as is typical for image trigger. We will know more when
the full data set is downlinked and analyzed.
