Scientific paper

The hard X-ray transient monitor of the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) has detected a previously unknown transient source. This source, Swift J0513.4-6547, was first detected at a daily average rate of 0.0018 ± 0.0014 counts/sec/cm^2 (8 mcrab) in the 15-50 keV band on 2009 April 2 (MJD 54923). It has continued at nearly the same brightness for the past two weeks. Examination of archived data reveals that the source was first detectable around 2009 Mar 4 and reached a peak brightness of ~40 mCrab on 2009 March 6.
