Swift J1753.5-0127 bright

   The Kyoto observation last night clearly detected this new X-ray transient
in outburst.  The object is sufficiently bright for a search for short-term
variation.  Up to now, no large short-term variation was detected.
Further analysis will be presented by the members engaged.

   By the way, the use of "Swift" would be recommended rather than "SWIFT"
because this is not an acronym (as you know, "swift" is the name of a famous
"swift" bird).
