X-ray Transient detected by MAXI/GSC
Abstract
MAXI/GSC detected an X-ray transient at the scan transit centered at UT 2010-03-11T02:42:38. The averaged source flux during the scan is about 180 mCrab in the 4-10 keV band. Enhanced emission with no significant time variation continued during 45 seconds transit time. There was no significant detection at this location in the previous and following orbits with an upper limit of 20 mCrab, indicating the duration time of this event is less than 92 min.
