RXTE observed the recently discovered transient Swift J1843.5-0343 (ATel #3109) for 5.5 ks beginning January 25, 2011 at 21:51:22 (UTC). A power spectral analysis reveals strong pulsations with a period of 42.5 s (un-barycentered), indicating this source is an X-ray pulsar. The average fractional pulsed amplitude, (max-min)/(max+min), is approximately 5.2%, and the pulse has little harmonic content.
