We report two new Swift follow-up observations of the supersoft source (SSS) candidate MAXI J0158-744 (ATel #3756, #3759). The observations were performed with the XRT on 2011-11-12 17:05:31 UTC and 2011-11-14 01:08:14 UTC for durations of ~2ks each. Both observations were taken in the Window Timing (WT) mode.
Since the detection from MAXI (ATel #3756), the SSS candidate was still bright in X-ray with high count rates of 1.36 ± 0.03 ct/s and 0.34 ± 0.02 ct/s (0.2-2.0 keV) in the 2011-11-12 and the 2011-11-14 WT images, respectively.
