Scientific paper

Using an r-band acquisition image from GMOS on the Gemini-South 8-m telescope we obtain the following refined coordinates for the likely LBV PSN J17592296+0617267 in NGC 6509 (CBET 2754) relative to the 2MASS catalog:
RA(J2000) = 17:59:22.995 DEC(J2000) = +06:17:26.56,
with an uncertainty of 0.1" in each coordinate. This position is about 0.5" away from the value listed in CBET 2754.
We further obtained archival Hubble Space Telescope WFPC2 images of NGC 6509 in the F606W filter (1800 sec; 2007 Apr 22; PI: Martini) and F814W filter (640 sec; 2000 Jul 3; PI: Boeker) to search for an associated progenitor.
