Scientific paper

Following the Swift detection of the reactivation of SGR 1627-41 (Palmer et al. ATEL 1548 and GCN 7777), we searched serendipitous RXTE observations of the region targeting the black-hole transient 4U 1630-47. The 1 degree field-of-view of the PCA includes 4U 1630-47 and SGR 1627-41. We found no evidence for burst activity in 3 observations of the region between 2008 May 25 and 2008 May 27. During an RXTE observation of the region on 2008 May 28 (93702-01-14-01), we detect at least 8 bursts in a 1600 s exposure.
