Israel (INAF-OAR)\n\nSwift-BAT triggered today on several Galactic short bursts (Krimm et al.\nGCN 8311, 8312), which were claimed to come from a new Soft Gamma Repeater\nSGR 1550-5418. However, given the positional coincidence of this new\nputative SGR 1550-5418 with the Anomalous X-ray Pulsar (AXP) 1E1547.0-5408\n(Gelfand & Gaensler 2007; Camilo et al. 2008; Halpern et al. 2008), and\nthe enhanced X-ray flux observed from promptly downlinked XRT data from\nthis source (Krimm et al. 8311), we now identify the source of these\nbursts being the AXP 1E1547.0-5408.\n\nSee http://staff.science.uva.nl/~nrea/1E1546_XMM_CXO_GCNs.jpg for an\nX-ray image of the field with superimposed the Swift-BAT and XRT\nerror circles from Krimm et al.
