The 2005 outburst of GRO J1655โˆ’40: spectral evolution of the rise, as observed by Swift

We present Swift observations of the black hole X-ray transient, GRO J1655โˆ’40, during the recent outburst. With its multiwavelength capabilities and flexible scheduling, Swift is extremely well suited for monitoring the spectral evolution of such an event. GRO J1655โˆ’40 was observed on 20 occasions and data were obtained by all โ€ฆ
