Miscellaneous :

Masetti et al. 2005 (Atel 528) :
  • RT Cru is a emission-line symbiotic star with large amplitude (Dm ~3.8 mag) outbursts and short-term flickering
Tueller et al. 2005 (Atel 591) :
  • Swift XRT position confirms the association with RT Cru
Sguera et al. 2012 (Atel 3887):
  • Detection with INTEGRAL/IBIS during Galactic plane scans performed between Jan 20 and 23 2012
  • IBIS spectrum <=> power law like a photon index of ~2.4
  • Swift observation => detection with XRT instrument
  • Soft X-ray spectrum <=> absorbed power law with NH<1.78 x 1022 cm-2 and Γ~ -0.36
  • A hint of an iron emission line is also mentioned
