Abstract

Swift Ultraviolet/Optical Telescope (UVOT) and X-Ray Telescope (XRT) observed the type-IIb SN 2006jd (CBET #673, CBET #679, but reclassified by Filippenko as type-IIn based on recent optical Keck spectra) on 2007-11-16.73 UT. A bright X-ray source is detected in the 2.3 ks XRT observation at the position of the SN, well offset (22 arcsec) from the nucleus of the host galaxy UGC 4179. The XRT net count rate is (6.3+/-2.0)E-03 cts/s, corresponding to an unabsorbed (0.2-10 keV band) X-ray flux of (3.4+/-1.1)E-13 erg/ cm/cm/s and a luminosity of (2.5+/-0.8)E41 erg/s for an adopted thermal plasma spectrum with a temperature of kT = 10 keV, a Galactic foreground column density of N_H = 4.5E+20 (Dickey & Lockman, 1990, ARAA 28) and a distance of 79 Mpc (z=0.018556, NED; H_o = 71 km/s/Mpc, Omega_M = 1/3, Omega_L = 2/3).
