RX J0209.6-7427 is an X-ray source in the Magellanic Bridge that was firstdetected in 1993, but not seen again till 2019. It has been identified as amember of the Be/X-ray binary class, a category of objects that are wellestablished as bright, often-unpredictable transients. Such systems are rarelyknown in the Bridge, possibly because they lie outside the area most commonlystudied by X-ray telescopes. Whatever the reason for the sparse number of suchsystems in the Bridge, they can provide useful tools for trying to understandthe result of the tidal dynamics of the two Magellanic Clouds. In this paperthe nature of the object is explored with the help of new data obtained duringthe latest outburst. In particular, the first optical spectrum of thecounterpart is presented to help classify the star, plus measurements of theBalmer emission lines over several years are used to investigate changes in thesize and structure of the circumstellar disk.
