| Abstract | During regular monitoring observations of the Galactic center with the Swift/XRT (Atel #5006; see link below), we detect a transient X-ray source located ~10 arcmin NW of Sgr A*. It is weakly detected at a 3-sigma level during a ~1.1 ks PC-mode observation performed on 2013 August 1, at a net count rate of ~5E-3 counts/s. Subsequent observations obtained on August 2 (~1.0 ks) show that the source brightened to ~1.5E-2 counts/s. |
