Monitoring observations of the Galactic center with the X-ray Telescope (XRT) aboard Swift have revealed renewed activity of the two known transient X-ray sources GRS 1741-2853 and XMM J174457-2850.3. The neutron star X-ray binary GRS 1741-2853 (Sunyaev 1990, IAU Circ. 5104), located ~10 arcmin from Sgr A*, is first seen active during a 1.2 ks photon counting (PC) mode observation obtained on 2010 July 18.
