Abstract
The Small Magellanic Cloud putative B star suggested to be the optical counterpart of the transient or recurrent XMM supersoft X-ray source XMMU J010147.5-715550 (Sturm et al., 2012, A & A 57, 76) was observed by us on September 7th, 2016 (JD 2457640.5) with the Southern African Large Telescope (SALT) at the South African Astronomical Observatory (SAAO) and the Robert Stobie Spectrograph (RSS), equipped with the PG0900 grating in longslit mode, with a slit width of 1 arcsecond.
