Scientific paper

Variability of the optical counterpart of the 6.85 s pulsar XTE J0103-728, whose position is given in ATel #1095, has been studied. The X-ray source is coincident with MACHO 206.16768.5 and OGLE-II smc_sc9_146936. Both data sets show the source has a `swooping' lightcurve, varying over half a magnitude, with a recurrence time of ~658 days. The maximum brightness is fairly constant (I_max=14.5), while MACHO data show the depth of minima decreased over the 7.5 years of observations.
