| Abstract | Following the discovery of the X-ray source XTE J1701-407 with RXTE/PCA (Atel #1569), we obtained a Swift/XRT observation of the source field on 2008-06-11, starting from UT 15:55:57. The XRT data shows one clear object within the 10 arcminute RXTE error circle for XTE J1701-407 (Atel #1569). The position of this source is found to be R.A. = 17:01:44.11 and Dec. = -40:51:27.93 (J2000), with an uncertainty of 3.6 arcseconds. |
