The following navigation utilizes arrow, enter, escape, and space bar key commands. Left and right arrows move through main tier links and expand / close menus in sub tiers. Up and Down arrows will open main tier menus and toggle through sub tier links. Enter and space open menus and escape closes them as well. Tab will move on to the next part of the site rather than go through menu items.

The most precise X-ray position yet of IGR J12346 has been found. This object was listed as an unclassified X-ray source in the Swift INTEGRAL X-ray Survey (SIX: Bottacini et al. 2012) with a position error circle of a few arcminutes in radius. Our short Swift-XRT observation allowed us to refine the source position to an error radius of seven arcseconds. With this more precise coordinate, we are now able to associate IGR J12346 with a distant quasar (supermassive black hole) previously seen in optical, infrared, and radio wavelengths.
