MAXI/GSC discovery of a new X-ray transient MAXI J1727-203
Abstract
The MAXI/GSC nova alert system (Negoro et al. 2016, PASJ, 68, S1) triggered on an uncatalogued X-ray transient source at 09:41 UT on 2018 June 05. Assuming that the source flux was constant over three scan transits from 9:41 to 12:46, we obtain the source position at (R.A., Dec) = (261.971 deg, -20.389 deg) = (17 27 53, -20 23 20) (J2000) with a statistical 90% C.L. elliptical error region with long and short radii of 0.33 deg and 0.28 deg, respectively.
