Abstract

In PCA scans of the galactic ridge region on 2008-08-21, RXTE detected a transient source. A follow-up scanning observation determined the position to be (RA,Dec) = 273.117,-18.26 (J2000) with an error radius of 2.1 arcmin (95% confidence). Thus, we designate this new source XTE J1812-182. We note that this source is distinct from the 120 second pulsar, XTE J1824-141, which was discovered around the same time and in the same region.
