P. D'Avanzo (INAF-OAB), A. Y. Lien (GSFC/UMBC) and
B. Sbarufatti (INAF-OAB/PSU) report on behalf of the Swift Team:
At 08:02:13 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and
located GRS 1716-249/GRO J1719-24/V2293 Oph (trigger=731535). Swift
did not slew because of Sun constraint.
The BAT on-board calculated location is
RA, Dec 259.889, -25.015 which is
RA(J2000) = 17h 19m 33s
Dec(J2000) = -25d 00' 53"
with an uncertainty of 3 arcmin (radius, 90% containment, including
systematic uncertainty). The BAT light curve does not show anything
significant, as it typical for image triggers.
Due to a Sun observing constraint, Swift cannot slew to the BAT
position until 2017 January 27. So there will be no XRT or UVOT
observations until then.
