Long-term monitoring of XTE J1743-363 performed with Swift /XRT (the campaign started about 50 days after the XMM-Newton observation). The count-rate is given in the 0.3–10 keV energy range. Assuming the source averaged spectral properties reported in Sect. 3, a count-rate of 0.01 cts/s corresponds to about 1.2 × 10^-12 erg/cm²/s. Downward arrows correspond to 3σ upperlimits on the source count-rate.
