Abstract We report on continued Swift monitoring observations of the Galactic center, covering the field of the new transient X-ray source Swift J174535.5-285921 (ATel #3472,#3476,#3481). After the first detection on 2011 July 3 (ATel #3472), the source was detected with the X-ray telescope (XRT) on July 6, 8 and 9 at count rates of ~(2-5)E-2 counts s-1. Swift J174535.5-285921 is no longer detected in subsequent observations carried out between July 15-17, yielding a count rate upper limit of ~5E-3 counts s-1.
