MAXI/GSC detects renewed activity from SLX 1746-331
Abstract
he MAXI/GSC detected renewed activity from the black-hole candidate SLX 1746-331. The source has been detectable since 2010-Dec-27 UT (MJD=55557). X-ray intensity gradually increased, and once reached a peak around 2010-Dec-30 (MJD=55560). On Jan. 5, the source flux increased again. Note that the until 2010-Dec-30 source had been detected by a not-well calibrated detector with the high voltage of 1550 V, and that the source was at an undetectable area of the detectors on 2010-Dec-31.
