| Abstract | Regular monitoring observations of the Galactic center with Swift's X-ray Telescope (XRT) have revealed renewed activity of the X-ray transient XMM J174457-2850.3 (Sakano et al. 2005). The source is first detected during a ~1.1 ks photon counting (PC) mode observation performed on 2012 August 5, at a count rate of ~1E-2 counts s-1. In the subsequent PC mode observation obtained on August 8 (~1.0 ks), its intensity has increased to ~0.1 counts s-1. |
