Abstract Following the detection of an X-ray outburst in the direction of Terzan 5 (ATEL #3714), we obtained a Swift observation and additional RXTE observations.
The XRT aboard Swift observed Terzan 5 on Oct. 26, 2011 in imaging mode for a total exposure time of 967 s. The source was detected at high count rates causing significant pile-up (the core is saturated), and a bad column intersects the point-spread function.
