Scientific paper

We report ongoing Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) monitoring observations of the accretion-powered millisecond pulsar HETE J1900.1-2455 (Kaaret et al. 2006, ApJ 638, 963). This source has been X-ray active continuously since it first went into outburst in June 2005 (see e.g. ATel #657), although the 377.3 Hz pulsations became undetectable in August 2005 and have not been detected since. The last two RXTE observations have found HETE J1900.1-2455 at the faintest flux level yet seen.
