Scientific paper

U Sco has been detected as a supersoft source in the X-ray band using the Swift satellite following the initial discovery as an X-ray source (ATel 2419). The Swift X-ray Telescope (XRT) has been monitoring U Sco since shortly after the optical discovery with the exception of ~5 days when the field-of-view was unavailable because of Swift's lunar constraint. An observation, obtained 2010 Feb 9 13:00 UT or 12 days after the outburst, reveals strong soft emission.
