Abstract

We have performed a Chandra ToO observation of XTE J1719-291 which was found to flare up in RXTE/PCA data between March 5-26 (Markwardt & Swank 2008, ATEL #1442). The goal was to improve upon the localization obtained by Swift/XRT on March 30 (Degenaar et al. 2008, ATEL #1451) to allow optical/NIR identification in this crowded region. We have obtained a 2.16 ksec HRC-I observation starting on 2008-04-27 at 18:23:25.
