Renewed Activity from H 1743-322 detected by MAXI/GSC
Abstract
Observations with MAXI/GSC have revealed an increased activity from the black hole candidate H 1743-322. The one-day averaged flux in the 4-10 keV band was about 80 mCrab during the recent three days (Dec. 27 to Dec. 29). During the period from Dec. 17 to Dec. 26, MAXI/GSC could not observe this source due to the sun avoidance constraint. On Dec. 16, the source was not detectable down to about 20 mCrab (5 sigma).
