During a ~1.9 ks pointed Swift/XRT observation performed on June 21, 2007 (03:27:38 to 06:53:56 UT), we did not detect SWIFT J1756.9-2508.
We can set a 1-10 keV upper limit on the source unabsorbed flux of F(1-10)=3.2e-12 erg/cm2/s (assuming the spectral model that fits the longest XRT observation performed on 2007-06-15 for 9.1ks). This is more than a factor of 300 weaker than the X-ray flux observed with Swift/XRT on Jun 13 (ATEL #1111) and weaker by a factor of ~10 than the last Swift/XRT detection on June 19.
We would like to thank the Swift-team for performing these XRT observations.
