Scientific paper

We report the discovery of a new X-ray transient, designated SWIFT J1729.9-3437, based on Swift BAT all-sky monitoring and RXTE PCA monitoring scans of the galactic center region. Swift BAT detected a new source starting on 2010-07-13 at a count rate (15-50 keV) of 0.0033 ± 0.0009 ct/cm2/s (~15 mCrab) and rising steadily to 0.0055 ± 0.0013 ct/cm2/s (~25 mCrab) on 2010-07-18. The cumulative significance for the past eight days is 8.1 sigma.
