Abstract

RXTE PCA has observed the transient X-ray pulsar 2S 1553-542, almost every day, from 6th January 2008, after Swift/BAT detected an increased activity from it (ATEL #1345, ATEL #1371). The fitted flux between 2 and 10 keV is varying between 9.6276e-10 ergs/cm^2/s and 2.2155e-09 ergs/ cm^2/s excepting on 9th Jan 2008 (Observation Id 93426-01-02-03) when the flux was found to be 3.4483e-09 ergs/cm^2/s.
