Scientific paper

RXTE PCA scans of the galactic ridge region on 2009-07-25 detected a new source. Follow-up RXTE PCA observations have occurred approximately daily since 2009-07-27, including a scan for position. Initial observations showed that the source was "pulsed" with a period of approximately 11 minutes. A dedicated PCA scan yielded a position of R.A. = 259.119, Decl. = -37.960 (J2000), and thus we designate the source XTE J1716-379.
