MAXI/GSC detection of an X-ray flare from the dMe star FT Psc
Abstract
We report an X-ray flare from the dMe star FT Psc on 2018 September 1 detected with the MAXI/GSC. The flare event was detected during a scan transit at 14:31 UT on 2018 September 1. Assuming the source flux was constant over the transit, we obtained the source position of (R.A., Dec) = (12.409 deg, 24.843 deg) = (00 49 38, +24 50 34) (J2000) with a statistical 90% C.L. elliptical error region with long and short radii of 0.31 deg and 0.26 deg, respectively.
