COMMENTS: SWIFT Figure-of-Merit decision.
COMMENTS: This was NOT of sufficient merit to become the new Automated Target.
COMMENTS: FOM will NOT request the s/c to slew.
COMMENTS: This matches a source in the ground catalog: IGR J08408-4503, delta=0.031 [deg].
COMMENTS: There is a bright star (mag=5.71) 9.49 arcmin from this position.
COMMENTS:
COMMENTS: The next comments were copied from the BAT_POS Notice:
COMMENTS: This is an image trigger. (The RATE_SIGNIF is undefined.)
COMMENTS: A point_source was found.
COMMENTS: This matches a source in the on-board catalog.
COMMENTS: This is not a GRB.
COMMENTS: This is an interesting source.
COMMENTS: Since the IMAGE_SIGNIF is less than 7 sigma, this is a questionable detection.
COMMENTS: This trigger occurred at longitude,latitude = 174.51,19.97 [deg].
