XTE J1829-098 is a 7.8 second transient X-ray pulsar discovered by RXTE in 2004 (ATEL #317), having XMM, Chandra, and IR counterparts (Halpern & Gotthelf 2007, ApJ, 669, 579). A long term light curve of XTE J1829-098 from regular RXTE PCA monitoring observations shows that its outbursts have a recurrence period of ~246 days and a duration of ~7 days. Based on our earlier prediction, RXTE caught an outburst of the source in August 2008, appearing to peak around 2008-08-04.
