Scientific paper

The extremely fast nova V2672 Oph (IAUC 9064) was detected by Swift with both the XRT and UVOT instruments just 1.43d after discovery on UT 2009 Aug 17.948. During the 0.8 ks observation we detected 7 photons at V2672 Oph's position for a rate of 0.017+/-0.005 ct/s after bad column and PSF loss corrections. The source was faint as seen through the uvw2 filter (1928A) at ~18.1 mag. Swift has continued to monitor V2672 Oph since Aug 18.257.
