The X-ray transient IGR J17098-3628, discovered by INTEGRAL (ATEL #444), was observed by Swift on May 1st from 16:23 UTC until 18:19 UTC. It was detected in soft X-rays by the Swift-XRT (ATEL #476), and possible optical/IR counterparts, associated with 2MASS J17094612-3627573, have been identified from the 2MASS All-Sky Catalogue, SuperCOSMOS Sky Survey (ATEL #477) and new observations with the Magellan-Baade telescope (ATEL #478).
