Abstract Data from monitoring observations with RXTE PCA and Swift XRT of Swift J1834.9-0846 (GRB110807A) covering a time span of about 2 weeks (MJD 55782-55795) since its discovery on August 7, 2011 (GCN #12253; GCN #12255) have been used to construct an accurate phase-coherent timing solution using barycentered (see GCN #12253 for the source position) pulse arrival times (ToA's) obtained by cross-correlation with a pulse-profile template.
