IGR J11215-5952 is the first member of the new class of Supergiant Fast X-ray Transients which displays periodic outbursts, with a recurrence time of 329 days (Sidoli et al. 2006,A&A,450,L9; Smith et al.2006,ATEL #766), likely indicative of the orbital period of the binary system. Based on this periodicity, we are performing a monitoring of the source field with Swift/XRT during the times around the fifth outburst, expected to occur on February 8-10.
