Abstract
We present the Swift observations of the supergiant fast X‐ray transient (SFXT) SAX J1818.6−1703 collected during the most recent outburst, which occurred on May 6 2009. In particular, we present broad‐band spectroscopic and timing analysis as well as a Swift/XRT light curve that spans more than two weeks of observations. The broad‐band spectral models and length of the outburst resemble those of the prototype of the SFXT class, XTE J1739−302, further confirming SAX J1818.6−1703 as a member of this class.
