The hard X-ray transient monitor of the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) has detected a previously unknown transient source. Swift X-Ray Telescope (XRT) observations have confirmed the detection and produced a refined position.
The new source, Swift J1112.2-8238, was first detected by the BAT in a four-day integration covering the days 2011 June 16-19 (MJD 55728 - 55731) at an average rate of 0.0029 ± 0.0007 counts/sec/cm2 (13 mCrab) in the 15-50 keV band.
