C. B. Markwardt, University of Maryland and Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), and E. Smith and J. H. Swank, GSFC, report that RXTE PCA monitoring observations of the galactic center region have revealed a new millisecond pulsar, designated XTE J1807-294. PCA cross scans on Feb 21.6 (UT) determined the position to be R.A. = 18h07m00s, Dec. = -29o24' (equinox 2000.0) with an uncertainty of approx. 1', due to the variable nature of the source and diffuse galactic emission.
