report on behalf of the Swift-XRT team:
Swift-XRT has performed observations of the probable new Galactic source
Swift J1658.2-4242 (trigger=810300; Barthelmy et al. GCN Circ. 22416),
collecting 137 s of Photon Counting (PC) mode data between T0+5.9 ks and
T0+6.1 ks.
Using promptly downlinked data we find an uncatalogued X-ray
source located at RA,Dec = 254.5524, -42.6988
which is equivalent to:
RA (J2000.0) = 16 58 12.58
DEC (J2000.0) = -42 41 55.7
with an uncertainty of 3.83 arcsec (radius, 90% containment).
This location is 41.6 arcsec from the BAT position, inside the BAT
error circle.
This circular is an official product of the Swift-XRT team
