Scientific paper

We performed a detailed spectral analysis of the whole Swift TOO observation of the anomalous X-ray pulsar CXO J164710.2-455216 in the cluster Westerlund 1 (Muno et al. 2006, ApJ 636 L41, see ATel #893). The final XRT effective exposure time is 7.4 ks in PC mode and 1.3 ks in WT and about 3700+1900 photons are extracted from the source (BG level of about 2.5%). The source is clearly fading with a power law index of about -1.3 in the 0.5-1day time interval from the BAT event.
