(cba:news) tonight's SWIFT observation of "Var Cas 06" (Joe Patterson) [2006-11-03T09:08:02Z]



Dear CBAers,

We managed to obtain a target-of-opportunity SWIFT X-ray observation of the new transient in Cas (0009+54), scheduled for 1330 UT today. It would be great if optical time series were obtained very close to it! Sorry for the short notice, but we were approved just 4 hours ago. Tomorrow night would be really good too.

This could be an awfully interesting object. So far it looks pretty unique - not quite looking like any of the usual suspects...
