Descripción
The neutron star transient SAX J1750.8-2900 has been in outburst since March 15th, 2008 (ATel #1425). The X-ray flux started to decay around mid May and fell below the detection threshold of RXTE-ASM and Swift-BAT around August 2nd and 8th, respectively. We report here on a Swift-XRT observation of the source during its transition to the quiescent state. Swift observed the field on August 14th.
