| Abstract | Starting on 2021 July 10, our daily Swift/XRT monitoring observations of the Galactic center (Degenaar et al. 2015) detect activity from a transient X-ray source located ~1' to the South-East of Sgr A*. Running the online XRT products tool on the 1.0-ks exposure obtained on July 13 (obsID 00096134085), we determine an 'enhanced' position for this X-ray transient of R.A. = 17:45:35.71, Dec. = -29:01:33.2 (J2000) with a 90% confidence error of 2.8" (Goad et al. 2007; Evans et al. 2009). |
