Scientific paper

A 2.9 ks observation with SWIFT from 2010 Sep. 26, 15:55 to 19:01 UT revealed a strong X-ray source in the Small Magellanic Cloud at R.A. = 00:53:54.5, Dec. = -72:26:44 (J2000, uncertainty 3.7 arcseconds) with a count rate of 0.14 cts/s. Compared to a previous 2.66 ks SWIFT observation from 2005 Nov. 09, 17:34 to Nov. 10, 00:00 UT with a count rate of 0.023 cts/s this is a factor of six higher in brightness.
