| Abstract | Following our recent report on the transition to quiescence of the transient neutron star low-mass X-ray binary XTE J1701-407 (ATel #3604), we continued to monitor the source in X-rays. Further observations were carried out between August 31 and September 20, during which Swift pointed towards the source once every 2-4 days with the XRT operated in the photon counting mode. Initially, we found the 2-10 keV luminosity of XTE J1701-407 to be steadily decreasing, down to Lx~1E33 erg/s on August 31 (assuming a distance towards the source of D=5 kpc; ATel #2814). |
