[vsnet-grb-info 33404] Swift Triggers 1209369 and 1209370 are not astrophysical events
TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR NUMBER: 35552 SUBJECT: Swift Triggers 1209369 and 1209370 are not astrophysical events DATE: 24/01/17 07:57:30 GMT FROM: David Palmer at LANL <palmer@lanl.gov> A. D'Ai (INAF-IASFPA), V. D'Elia (SSDC & INAF-OAR), A. Melandri (INAF-OAR), K. L. Page (U Leicester), D. M. Palmer (LANL) and M. H. Siegel (PSU) report on behalf of the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory Team: Swift Triggers 1209369 and 1209370 are not astrophysical events. They were caused by misidentifcation of a known source (in this case, Sco X-1) when the star trackers had lost lock. For the near future, please verify that the Swift GCN notices do not have the comment COMMENTS: This trigger occured while the StarTracker had lost lock, so it is possibly bogus. GCN 34709 lists sources which BAT currently sees, so notices with coordinates near these locations should be treated as suspect.
