Scientific paper

On 2011 October 15 at 01:12:40 UT the Swift BAT triggered on an outburst from the fast hard X-ray transient IGR J17407-2808 (Kretschmar et al. 2004,ATel #345). Sguera et al (2006,ApJ,646,452) proposed IGR J17407-2808 as a candidate Supergiant Fast X-ray Transient (SFXT), based on its hard X-ray behaviour, although they noted the peculiarly quick strong flares (20-60 keV, peak flux 800 mCrab, lasting a couple of minutes), thus not ruling out an alternative source nature.
