IGR J11435-6109 is a hard X-ray source that is located within 0.7 degrees of the Galactic plane. X-ray pulsations with a period of 161.76 seconds have been detected from this source (ATELs #359 and #362) as well as a long-term X-ray modulation with a period of 52.36 days (ATELs #359 and #362 and Wen et al. 2006). These periodicities strongly suggest that the system is a High Mass X-ray Binary (HMXB) with a neutron star orbiting its companion with an orbital period of 52.36 days.
