| Abstract | Monitoring observations of the Galactic center performed with Swift's X-ray Telescope (XRT) reveal a transient X-ray source located ~1.3' NE of Sgr A*. This object is clearly detected during a 1.0-ks photon counting (PC) mode observation obtained on 2011 July 3, but not in the proceeding 1.0-ks observation performed on 2011 June 30, nor in any previous XRT observations of this region carried out between 2006 and 2011 (Degenaar & Wijnands 2009, A&A 495, 547; 2010, A&A 524, 69). |
