  Aims. We intend to establish the X-ray properties of Swift J0732.5-1331 and
therefore confirm its status as an intermediate polar. Method. We analysed
36,240 s of X-ray data from RXTE. Frequency analysis was used to constrain
temporal variations and spectral analysis used to characterise the emission and
absorption properties. Results. The X-ray spin period is confirmed to be
512.4(3) s with a strong first harmonic. No modulation is detected at the
candidate orbital period of 5.6 h, but a coherent modulation is present at the
candidate 11.3 h period. The spectrum is consistent with a 37 keV
bremsstrahlung continuum with an iron line at 6.4 keV absorbed by an equivalent
hydrogen column density of around 10^22 atoms cm^-2. Conclusions. Swift
J0732-1331 is confirmed to be an intermediate polar.
