Abstract:

In a monitoring observation of the central region of the Andromeda Galaxy (M 31) with the Ultra-violet/Optical Telescope (UVOT) on board the Swift satellite (ObsID 00035336102, starting 2013-05-27.15 UT), we detected a new UV transient (UVW1 filter, 181-321 nm). The source is located at RA 00h 42m 55.62s, Dec +41d 14' 12.3" (± 0.5", J2000, 90% confidence level). The following table lists the Swift ObsID, the MJD at the beginning of the exposure, UVW1 magnitudes (Vega system), and 1σ statistical uncertainties.
