| Abstract | Data from monitoring observations of magnetar-candidate Swift J1822.3-1606 with RXTE PCA covering a time span of about 10 weeks (MJD 55758-55826) since its discovery on July 14, 2011 (ATEL #3488; GCN #12159) have been used to construct an accurate phase-coherent timing solution. Barycentered pulse arrival times (ToA's; see ATEL #3493 for the adopted source location) have been obtained by a cross-correlation method with a high-statistics pulse-profile template. |
