At 11:22:52 UT on 2008 October 16, the Swift BAT triggered on a superflare from the the binary system CC Eridani. This system consists of a dK7 and dM3 star, with an orbital period of 1.57 days, and is at a distance of 11.5 pc. Swift slewed to the system immediately, and the XRT began observing the source 147.2 s after the trigger. The BAT light curve shows a rise in intensity beginning near T-200s reaching a plateau around T=0 s.
