Scientific paper

On 7 March 2006 we looked at the proposed optical counterpart of the hard X-ray source Swift J0732.5-1331 (Atel #697, #735, #757) using the high-speed multi-band CCD camera ULTRACAM mounted on the 4.2m William Herschel Telescope. This star is a suspected intermediate polar. We detected the pulsations previously reported in Atel #757. However, we also found that the proposed counterpart resolves into two stars approximately 1.8" apart and lying along a North-East/South-West axis.
