Scientific paper

Regular monitoring of the Galactic center with the Swift X-ray Telescope (XRT) has revealed activity of a transient X-ray source located ~1.5' SE from Sgr A*. The source is clearly detected during photon counting (PC) mode observations obtained on 2010 June 15 and 18, which had exposure times of 1.4 and 1.0 ks, respectively. However, this object is not detected in a 1.1 ks exposure performed on 2010 June 12, nor in any previous observations of this region carried out in 2009 and 2010.
