Swift Observations of MAXI J1659-152: A Compact Binary with a Black Hole Accretor

We report on the detection and follow-up high-cadence monitoring observations of MAXI J1659-152, a brightGalactic X-ray binary transient with a likely black hole accretor, by Swift over a 27 day period after its initialoutburst detection. MAXI J1659-152 was discovered almost simultaneously by Swift...
