MAXI/GSC detection of successive mini-outbursts from the black hole candidate MAXI J1348-630
Abstract
At 05:28 UT on 2020 September 05, the MAXI/GSC nova alert system triggered on a faint X-ray transient source positionally consistent with the black hole candidate MAXI J1348-630 discovered on 2019 January 26 (Yatabe et al. ATel #12425, also see Tominaga et al. 2020, ApJ, 899, L20; Belloni et al. 2020, MNRAS, 496, 4366; Jana et al. 2020, ApJ, 897, a3). The X-ray flux averaged over the 6 scan transits from 20:57 UT on September 5 to 4:42 on September 6 was 28 +- 6 mCrab (4.0-10.0keV, 1 sigma error).
