Descripción
Swift XRT observed the recently discovered source XTE J1701-407 (Markwardt et al., ATel #1569, Degenaar et al., ATel #1572) on July 17th, 2008 at UT 13:31:45, 97 seconds after the Swift-BAT detection of an X-ray flare (Barthelmy et al., GCN Circ. #7985; Markwardt et al., Atel #1616), for a total exposure time of nearly two kiloseconds. We report herein the analysis of the inital ~1 kilosecond long windowed timing (wt) mode data.
