Abstract Over the period of August 30th to September 7th, 2007, during the reactivation phase of Swift, XRT has been performing frequent observations of AXJ1538.3-5541, a faint ASCA detected point source first reported by Sugizaki et al. (2001, ApJS, 134, 77) and thought to be a low-mass X-ray binary. Aside from the recent monitoring, four observations have also been performed of this target in 2007, between January 5th and March 16th.
