S. D. Barthelmy (GSFC), L. M. Z. Hagen (PSU) and
B. Sbarufatti (INAF-OAB/PSU) report on behalf of the Swift Team:
At 22:42:08 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and
located H1745-203 (trigger=645944). Swift did not slew due a higher merit value
source being observed. The BAT on-board calculated location is
RA, Dec 267.232, -20.395, which is
RA(J2000) = 17h 48m 56s
Dec(J2000) = -20d 23' 42"
with an uncertainty of 4 arcmin (radius, 90% containment, including
systematic uncertainty). The BAT light curve shows a single peak
with a duration of about 10 sec. The peak count rate
was ~1000 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~1 sec after the trigger.
