Scientific paper

RXTE PCA observations in the direction of the Small Magellanic Cloud made on 2010-08-16 and 2010-08-21, as part of a long-term monitoring program, show the presence of pulsations with a period of 85.4 ± 0.1 s. The modulation semi-amplitude on 2010-08-21 was approximately 0.15 cts/s/PCU. This period does not coincide with the fundamental period of any known pulsar in the PCA field of view (a compilation of SMC pulsar periods is given at http://www.astro.soton.ac.uk/~mjc/smc/).
