Description
We continued our Swift-XRT monitoring of the new very-faint X-ray source XMMSL1 J171900.4-353217 [ATel #2607, #2656]. Two new observations were obtained on Jun 14th and 29th and we fitted both observations with an absorbed powerlaw model, keeping the hydrogen column density constant to the value 3.4E22 cm-2 (see ATel #2627). The resulting photon index is 2.16+/-0.28 and 2.11+/-0.14 respectively and the absorbed (unabsorbed) flux in 2-10 keV range is 1.67E-11 (2.3E-11) ergs cm-2 s-1 and 5.12E-11 (7E-11) respectively.
