X-Ray, Transients

Scientific paper

On June 10th, 2007 at 20:52:26 UT, the Swift BAT instrument triggered on the X-ray transient source SWIFT J195509.6+261406, which was initially thought to a GRB (Pagani et al., GCN #6489), but is more likely to be be a galactic X-ray transient (Markwardt et al., ATEL #1102). In the field of this transient, we detect a previously unknown variable X-ray source at the following location: RA (J2000) = 19h 54m 56.78s, Dec (J2000) = +26d 13' 01.13", with error radius of 3.7 arcsec (90% uncertainty), designated SWIFT J195456.7+261301.
