The X-ray Burst source, HETE J1900.1-2455, discovered by HETE (Atel 516)
was observed with the RXTE on 2005 June 16 and twice on June 17. All
three observations show a source with a flux near 19 mCrab and pulsations
at 377.3 Hz. Raster scans with the PCA are consistent with the HETE
position. RXTE observations are continuing. Observations to obtain a
more accurate X-ray position and to identify an optical counterpart are
encouraged.
