Abstract

Following the discovery of the new X-ray transient XTE J1637-498 (Atel #1699), we obtained a short (nearly 1 ksec) observation using the Swift/XRT in PC mode on 2008-09-04 at 18:15 UT. We detected one relatively bright source within the ~6 arcminutes PCA error circle at a position of RA=16:37:02.995, Dec=-49:51:37 (J2000), with an estimated uncertainty of 3.8 arcseconds radius (90% confidence).
