MAXI/GSC detection of a new soft X-ray transient MAXI J0126-745
Abstract
MAXI/GSC detected a soft X-ray transient source on June 1-2, 2019. Assuming that the source flux was constant over 8 scan transits from 20:53 on June 1 to 09:16 on June 2 and only using 2-4 keV data, we obtain the source position at (R.A., Dec) = (21.574 deg, -74.576 deg) = (01 26 17, -74 34 33) (J2000) with a statistical 90% C.L. elliptical error region with long and short radii of 0.70 deg and 0.41 deg, respectively.
