SN 2009ip Swift/XRT observations


FIG.1
Left
: Summed Swift/XRT images of SN 2009ip. The SN 2009ip position is marked with a circled cross at the center of the image. Detected sources are marked with a square and a number (using XIMAGE detect). SN 2009ip coincides with source nr.1.
Right: Smoothed image to highlight SN 2009ip at the center.



FIG. 2
Swift/XRT background subtracted light curve. The light curve is in the 0.3-10 keV energy band and has been extracted from a circular region of 10 arcsec radius centered on the SN 2009ip position. This extracttion radius corresponds to the instrumental Half Energy Width so that the corrected count rate should be doubled.



FIG. 3
Swift/XRT light curve as above, fitted with a Gaussian model.
