Coe et al. 2014ATel 5806
:- INTEGRAL discovery, follow-up with Swift, refinement of X-ray position
- 14th magnitude star identified in OGLE IV as SMC732.03.3540
- Large brightness changes of the order of one optical magnitude on timescales of 5-6 years
- Clear outbursts every 84d identified as the binary period of the system.
- Nearest catalogued Be/X-ray pulsar system is SXP2.16 detected by RXTE in 2003
- RXTE Position formally inconsistent with that of from INTEGRAL but RXTE detection coincident with a
previous optical flare and a general increased optical brightness of SMC732.03.3540
- Swift did not detect pulsation => not possible to refute or confirm associations
- Swift XRT image => position consistent with IBIS and the OGLE optical counterparts
- IGR J01217-7257 is likely to be a new Be/X-ray binary system.

Schmidtke et al. 2014ATel 5889
:- 4 seasons of I-band photometry (XROM web site) examined
- Refined long period of P=84.03 d obtained
- Periodogram analysis also revealed optical pulsations at P=1.173 d with a full
amplitude of ~0.02 mag

Haberl et al. 2015ATel 8305
:- XMM observations of the source during last outburst (october 2015)
- Pulsations with a period of 2.16501 identical to those of XTE J0119-731 indicating
IGR and XTE sources are the same
- Refined X-ray positions confirm the B0-5III emission line star AzV 503 is the
counterpart
- X-ray spectral analysis=> absorbed power law + disk-blackbody model: Γ=0.42,
kT=0.33, NH=4×1020 cm-2 (consistent with foreground
absorption); inner-disk radius > 14.4 km
