MAXI/GSC detected an increasing soft X-ray component of Swift J1753.5-0127
Abstract
MAXI/GSC detected an increasing soft X-ray component of the black hole candidate Swift J1753.5-0127. The possible state transition started around 2009-11-25.5 (UT), and the soft X-ray count rate in the 1.5-4 keV band increased by a factor of 2 (about 50 mCrab before the transition, reaching about 100 mCrab around 2009-11-28), while the hard X-ray count rate at 4-20 keV stayed in a similar level as those before.
