MAXI/GSC and Swift/BAT detections of a new X-ray outburst from MAXI J0911-655/Swift J0911.9-6452
Abstract
The MAXI/GSC nova-alert system triggered on a faint uncatalogued X-ray transient source at 05:30 UT on 2016 February 19 (MJD 57437). Assuming that the source flux was constant over the transits, we obtain the source position at (R.A., Dec) = (137.760 deg, -65.574 deg) = (09 11 02, -65 34 26) (J2000) with a 90% C.L. statistical error of 0.52 deg and an additional systematic uncertainty of 0.1 deg (90% containment radius).
