The hard X-ray transient monitor of the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) has detected a hard X-ray outburst from the persistent Be/NS X-ray binary pulsar RX J1037.5-5647 (aka 4U 1036-56). In the current epoch, RX J1037.5-5647 was first detected by the BAT in the 15-50 keV band on 2012 February 3 (MJD 55960) at a rate of 0.004 ± 0.0008 counts/sec/cm2 (~20 mCrab). It peaked at 0.0067 ± 0.0019 counts/sec/cm2 (~30 mCrab) on 2012 Feb.
