On 20 May at 17:32 UT, the Swift BAT detected the recurrent fast X-ray transient IGR J16479-4514 (Molkov et al., ATEL #176) as Swift trigger number 210886. While we do not have flux information at this time, the source was detected at 5.8 sigma in 320 seconds in the 15-50 keV band, which is much more intense than has been seen by BAT in the past eight months. A previous flare of this source was detected by Swift XRT (Kennea et al, ATEL #599), which suggests that follow-up observations may detect the source an hour or more after a flare.
