Abstract

We report on RXTE and Swift observations of SWIFT J1842.5-1124 (Krimm et al., ATel #1706), including timing, spectroscopy and a UV counterpart detection. The combined X-ray spectral and timing behaviors of the source are characteristic of a black hole in the hard spectral state. RXTE PCA observed on 2008-09-09 at 07:20 UT for 3 ksec. The spectrum is consistent with a combined black body and power law model (black body kT = 0.9 keV; photon index = 1.5), with a weak line near 6.4 keV (100 eV equivalent width).
