In recent observations, the Swift/BAT Hard X-ray Transient Monitor has detected increased activity from three galactic sources. All reported observations are in the 15-50 keV energy band. The binary X-ray pulsar 4U 0115+634 is detected at a level of 0.020 ± 0.004 counts/sec/cm2 (~100 mcrab) beginning on March 12, 2008 (MJD 54537). This source was last active in Sep. 2004 (ATel #326) and is normally below the 7-mcrab detection threshold for the BAT transient monitor on a one-day timescale.
