The recurrent nova T Pyxidis, which is currently in outburst (IAUC #9205), continues to be monitored by Swift at X-ray and UV wavelengths after its emergence out of the Swift Sun-constraint (see ATel #3549). The Swift/XRT observations (ATel #3285, ATel #3549) between UT 2011 Sep 3-11 (142-150 days after discovery on 2011 Apr 14) shows a source at 0.3-1 cts/s (0.3-10 keV). This is an order of magnitude brighter than seen just before the source entered the Swift Sun-constraint (2011 Aug 16, or day 124: ATel #3549).
