MAXI/GSC detects X-ray brightening from XTE J1946+274
Abstract
Following the previous outbursts (Atel #2663, #2677, #2692, #2847), MAXI/GSC detects a renewed X-ray brightening from Be/X-ray transient pulsar XTE J1946+274. The source flux started to increase on 2010-Nov-15 (MJD 55515),and reached 33 mCrab (4-10 keV) on 2010-Nov-19 (MJD 55519).
This corresponds to the third outburst detected by MAXI/GSC from this source since the previous major outburst started on 2010-Jun-04 (MJD 55351) (Atel #2663).
