The Chandra Dust-scattering Halo of Galactic Center Transient Swift J174540.7-290015
We report the detection of a dust-scattering halo around a recently discovered X-ray transient, Swift J174540.7-290015, which in early 2016 February underwent one of the brightest outbursts (F X ≈ 5 × 10[superscript -10] erg cm[superscript -2] s[superscript -1] ) observed from a compact object in th...
