The field of the hard X-ray source XTE J1859+083 was observed with Swift/XRT for 9.7 ks from 2007-11-16 15:08:46 to 2007-11-17 23:33:56 UT. The Swift/XR data show no X-ray sources within the XTE/PCA position error region of 2 arcmin radius centered on R.A. (J2000) = 18h 59m 06s, Dec=+08d 15m 00s (Marshall et al. 1999, IAUC7240). A 3-sigma upper limit on a source within the Swift/XRT error box can be placed at 5E-14 erg/cm2/s in the energy range 0.3-10 keV (for a powerlaw spectrum with a photon index of 2, no intrinsic absorption and a Galactic absorption of 9E21 cm-2).
