Comparison between all Chandra observations of AT 2016blu during the ToO campaign, and a stacked image of previous archival observations. The white circle, of 2″ radius, marks the optical position of AT 2016blu. No source is detected in the stacked archival images prior to the first observed optical outburst of AT 2016blu, when it was a stable system.
