M 62: Swift-XRT monitoring
Chandra image.
51 X-ray sources are contained within the 1.23' half-light radius
(the image is 2.46' x 2.46', from Pooley et al. 2003)

LATEST XRT SPECTRUM:
![Left: full XRT 0.3-10 keV image, smoothed with a 1.5 pixel Gaussian, in Galactic coordinates. Red annulus shows the background extraction region, and the green thick circle the cluster half-light radius.
Right: XRT 0.3-10 keV image, smoothed with a 1.5 pixel Gaussian, in equatorial coordinates, centered on the optical center and zoomed to show the half-light radius (thick green circle). The thin inner circle shows the core radius, and the green dots show the known faint X-ray sources from deep Chandra observations (Pooley03).
Observation ID, date and exposure are noted, and the color scale shows the image counts.
Background regions: annuli with inner and outer radii equal to 1.5 a 2 times the half-light radius of the cluster, respectively (i.e., including regions between ~1 and ~6 arcmin from the center).](M62/gifs/latest_image.gif)
