  Here we summarise the Swift broadband observations of the recently discovered
X-ray transient and black hole candidate, XTE J1752-223,obtained over the
period of outburst from October 2009 to June 2010. We offer a phenomenological
treatment of the spectra as an indication of the canonical spectral state of
the source during different periods of the outburst. We find that the high
energy hardness-intensity diagrams over two separate bands follows the
canonical behavior, confirming the spectral states. From Swift-UVOT data we
confirm the presence of an optical counterpart which displays variability
correlated, in the soft state, to the X-ray emission observed by Swift-XRT. The
optical counterpart also displays hysteretical behaviour between the states not
normally observed in the optical bands, suggesting a possible contribution from
a synchrotron emitting jet to the optical emission in the rising hard state.
Our XRT timing analysis shows that in the hard state there is significant
variability below 10Hz which is more pronounced at low energies, while during
the soft state the level of variability is consistent with being minimal.These
properties of XTE J1752-223 support its candidacy as a black hole in the
Galactic centre region.
