Scientific paper

Observations of comet Tempel 1 with the Swift satellite show that the X-ray emission has now peaked following the observed rise on July 7-8 (ATEL #559). The peak in X-ray emission occurred on July 9, reaching more than an order of magnitude above the quiescent value. The X-ray emission observed on July 12 appears to have returned to its pre-flare value. Hence this X-ray flare lasted about 4 days.
