Scientific paper

On May 14, 2008, the Swift/BAT triggered on an X-ray flare from the unidentified ROSAT source 1RXJ173523.7-354013. Following the BAT detection, Swift observed the source with the X-ray Telescope (XRT), starting about 150s after the BAT trigger. A very bright X-ray source has been detected;a factor of about 1000 brighter than the ROSAT flux of 1RXHJ173523.7-354013, and it was displaying a rapid flux fading. In the following months the source reached a rather stable flux but at about 3 times higher than the ROSAT flux. By combining all the available Swift data to date, we found evidence for 41 minutes period in the light curve, which is most likely the binary orbital period. We ask for 30ks XMM pointing in order to unveil the nature of this enigmatic source, and confirm our period determination.
