Scientific paper

Regarding the newly detected transient source SWIFT J1729.9-3437 (ATEL #2747), we report an X-ray position by Swift and the detection of possible pulsations at 530 sec by RXTE. Swift observed the source with the X-ray Telescope (XRT) starting at 2010-07-20 at 15:00 UT for a total observation of 2.3 ks. The image shows a bright point source at coordinates R.A.=262.53746, Decl.=-34.61239 (J2000) with an uncertainty of 1.7" (90% confidence).
