Scientific paper

We report the discovery of SWIFT J1009.3-4250, a new hard X-ray source. The source was detected in the ongoing SWIFT Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) survey; as in ATEL #697, BAT data from May-Nov 2005 have been used. The BAT position is (ra,dec)=(152.401,-42.798) and the source significance is 5.1 sigma. SWIFT J1009.3-4250 was observed three times during followup observations with the X-ray Telescope (XRT) on board SWIFT.
