Abstract

We have processed RXTE ASM data to construct the mission light curve for IGR J17062-6143 (ATel #1840), using the Swift XRT position. We first excluded camera dwells with a high background rate, filtering out dwells with channel A X-ray background < 12.0 ASM c/s. We then binned the flux measurements to intervals of one week. The resulting light curve shows that the source is a long-term, faint transient, and the current outburst began in late 2005 or early 2006.
