Abstract We report preliminary results on our Swift/XRT monitoring observations of the current outburst of the black hole candidate IGR J17091-3624 (e.g. Altamirano et al. 2011, ApJL, 742, 17, and references therein). Since our last report on 31 Jan 2013 (ATEL #4773), the X-ray flux as measured from Swift/XRT pointed observations has only varied by a factor not larger than 5. However, in the the last Swift/XRT pointed observation IGR J17091-3624 is barely detected, if detected at all.
