Swift-BAT detected a new pulsar at RA, Dec 246.632,-51.945 {16h 26m 31.8s,-51d 56' 41.6"} (J2000) with an uncertainty of 2.5 arcmin (radius, 90%, stat+sys). We designate this new source SWIFT J1626.6-5156 (Krimm, et al., GCN 4361; Barthelmy et al, GCN 4362). No obvious counterparts were found in a search of Simbad, or the ROSAT all-sky survey. This source has been detected multiple times by BAT, with the earliest detection at 2005 Dec 18 04:21 (UTC) and the most recent at 2005 Dec 20 06:28 (as of 2005 Dec 20 15:00).
