Following the gamma-ray flare of the high redshift flat spectrum radio quasar PKS 2123-463 (also known as 1FGL J2126.1-4603, Abdo et al. 2010, ApJS, 188, 405, and 2FGL J2125.0-4632, Abdo et al. 2011, submitted to ApJS, arXiv:1108.1435) detected by Fermi LAT on December 14 (ATel #3808), two Swift target of opportunity observations were performed on December 15 and 19. Swift/XRT data were taken in Photon Counting mode for a total exposure of about 4.9 ksec and 5.4 ksec for December 15 and 19, respectively.
