52.64, Dec=-20 21 29.9, with error radius 7.3, consistent with either NGC 6440 X-2 or with the cluster center. Spectral fitting of the few detected photons with an absorbed power-law derives a photon index of 4.2$^{+1.2}_{-1.1}$ and $L_X=1.0^{+1.0}_{-0.5}\times10^{34}$ . This is consistent with emission from the rest of the cluster, containing a mixture of soft quiescent LMXBs and sources (likely cataclysmic variables) with harder spectra [@Pooley02b; @Heinke03d].

We obtained four  observations soon after the initial  discovery (Table 1). On July 31, /XRT found enhanced emission from NGC 6440 X-2’s position. Observations on Aug. 4, 6, and 10 found fluxes and positions consistent with the cluster center, and soft spectra (Table 1, Figs. \[fig:Swift6\], \[fig:inset\]). The centroid of the emission in the deepest of these observations (Aug. 6, 1.9 ks) is RA=17:48:52.9s, Dec=-20:21:35.1, error radius 6.1”, which is consistent with the cluster center but not with NGC 6440 X-2.

After the Aug. 29 bulge scan detection  observed NGC 6440 on Sept. 1st, identifying emission from the location (RA=17:48:52.6, Dec=-20:21:24.9, error radius 4.8”) of NGC 6440 X-2 at $L_X=6\pm2\times10^{34}$  (Figs. \[fig:Swift6\], \[fig:inset\]). Further  observations on Sept. 2 and 4 found faint emission, consistent in position and flux with the cluster.
