Scientific paper

An X-ray source is detected at the position of the SN in a 3.4 ks Swift XRT obs from 2006-10-13 16:10 UT with a flux and lum of 1.0+/-0.4 E-13 ergs/cm/cm/s and 6.7+/-2.7 E39 ergs/s (0.2-10 keV). The UV-V colors are extremely blue, similar to the X-ray bright SN IIP 2006bp. The Swift UVOT data show that the SN is very bright in the opt and especially in the UV (ATel 916), likely a result of the shock interaction with dense CSM, confirming that the X-rays are due to the SN. Due to the large PSF of the XRT (18 HPD), and an offset of the SN of 11" W and 7" S of the host galaxy, UGC 4904, XRT data do not allow us to unambiguously associate the X-ray source with the SN, even at higher photon statistics. No further Swift obs will be obtained due to Sun angle constraints. The RASS shows no X-ray source at the position of the host galaxy. Therefore, the association of the X-ray source with the SN is strong and the Chandra obs could establish SNe Ib, for the first time, as X-ray sources.
