| Abstract | We have followed the new X-ray transient in Terzan 5 (ATEL #4242) with daily Swift/XRT observations, finding it to be continuously brightening. We name this transient as Swift J174805.3-244637, the third confirmed transient in Terzan 5. We observed Terzan 5 with the XRT in PC mode on 2012 July 7 (20:27 UT, 0.95 ks), 8 (23:13 UT, 0.97 ks), and 10 (02:30 UT, 0.76 ks), in each case identifying a single source consistent with the position reported in Atel #4242. |
