Abstract

Kong and Di Stefano (ATel #1333) report the discovery on 2007 Dec 13 UT of a supersoft X-ray transient (R.A.=00:42:09.9, Decl.=+40:57:48, J2000) discovered serendipitously during Swift observations of the supersoft source in the M31 globular cluster Bol 111 (Atel #1294). An R-band image taken with the Mount Laguna Observatory 1-m reflector approximately three days later on 2007 Dec 16.07 UT reveals no optical counterpart of this new transient to a limiting magnitude of R=20.
