| Abstract |
On 2012 June 25, Swift/BAT triggered on an event consistent with the location of the unclassified X-ray transient IGR J17062-6143 (GCN #13386). This source undergoes long faint outbursts (ATel #1840, #1853). We investigated the BAT, XRT and UVOT data to asses the nature of the BAT trigger. </P> The BAT lightcurve shows a single broad peak of ~200 s. We extracted a spectrum around the peak, using data from t=0-70 s after the trigger. |
