MAXI/GSC detection of a new outburst from SAX J1810.8-2609
Abstract
MAXI/GSC detected a new X-ray outburst from NS-LMXB SAX J1810.8-2609 on 2021 May 13 (MJD 59347). The X-ray flux is increasing slowly and the averaged X-ray flux in the 2 - 10 keV band during May 17 to 19 reaches 7.7 +/- 1.4 x 10-10 erg/s/cm2, which corresponds to the X-ray luminosity of 2.2 +/- 0.4 x 1036 erg/s assuming the distance of 4.9 kpc (Natalucci et al. 2000, ApJ, 536, 891).
