Palmer (LANL)\non behalf of the Swift team:\n\nAt 19:06:48 UT, Swift-BAT triggered and located a hard x-ray transient\nwhich we name SWIFT J1626.6-5156 (trigger=173321).  The spacecraft did not slew\nbecause of the Sun observing constraint (Sun distance 32 deg).\nThe BAT on-board calculated location is RA,Dec 246.657d,-51.937d\n{16h 26m 38s,-51d 56' 13\"} (J2000), with an uncertainty of 3 arcmin\n(radius, 90% containment, stat+sys).\n\nWe note that (a) this is close to the galactic center (lon=333, lat=-2),\n(b) the image significance is a strong 8.2 sigma, and (c) BAT has detected\nemission from this location multiple times within the last 24 hours. \nWe therefore conclude that this is a hard x-ray transient, and not a GRB.\nThe full Malindi data set in ~5 hours will likely provide the final determination\nof the nature of this event.",
