MAXI/GSC detected a renewed X-ray activity from GX 304-1
Abstract
The MAXI/GSC detected a renewed activity from a Be/X-ray binary pulsar, GX 304-1 on 2011 April 25 (MJD 55676.5). The source flux reached 84+-5 mCrab in 2-20 keV on April 25. The event is consistent with the recurrent outburst by the 132.5-day orbital period from the last one (ATel #3075) and corresponds to the seventh of successive outbursts since the source activity resumed on 2008 June following the 28-year absence (ATel #1613).
