MAXI/GSC detection of a new hard X-ray transient Swift J1727.8-1613 (GRB 230824A)
Abstract
The MAXI/GSC has detected the hard X-ray transient Swift J1727.8-1613 (GRB 230824A: GCN #34536, #34537) since the scan transit at 10:20 on 2023 August 24. The source flux is increasing rapidly, reaching more than 2 Crab at 10-20 keV at 21:10 and 22:44, which supports the possibility that the source is a Galactic transient, not a GRB (GCN #23540).
