HETE J1900.1-2455 is a millisecond pulsar.
Abstract
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.
