MAXI/GSC detection of peculiar soft X-ray enhancement probably from SLX 1735-269
Abstract
At 15:26 UT on 2017 February 20, the MAXI/GSC nova-alert system triggered on a short, soft X-ray burst-like event in the 2-4 keV band. Assuming that the source flux was constant over the transit, we obtain the source position at (R.A., Dec) = (264.605 deg, -27.043 deg) = (17 38 25, -27 02 34) (J2000) with a statistical 90% C.L. elliptical error region with long and short radii of 0.45 deg and 0.39 deg, respectively.
