TL;DR: The Swift Gamma-Ray Explorer (XRT) as mentioned in this paper uses a mirror set built for JET-X and an XMM-Newton/EPIC MOS CCD detector to provide a sensitive broad-band (0.2-10 keV) X-ray imager with effective area of > 120 cm2 at 1.5 keV, field of view of 23.6 × 23. 6 arcminutes, and angular resolution of 18 arcseconds.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a suite of programs which automatically generate Swift /XRT light curves of GRBs, which can be used to provide the community with an online repository of X-ray light curves obtained with Swift.

TL;DR: Observations of a bright X-ray flare from the extragalactic transient Swift J164449.3+573451 conclude that they have captured the onset of relativistic jet activity from a supermassive black hole.

TL;DR: This work reports the serendipitous discovery of a supernova at the time of the explosion, marked by an extremely luminous X-ray outburst, and attributes the outburst to the ‘break-out’ of the supernova shock wave from the progenitor star, and shows that the inferred rate of such events agrees with that of all core-collapse supernovae.
