MAXI/GSC detects a new X-ray transient MAXI J0556-332
Abstract
At 2011-01-11 09:21 UT (= MJD 55572.3896), the MAXI/GSC transient alert system triggered and localted an X-ray transient at:
(R.A., Dec) = (+89.06 deg, -33.21 deg) = (05 56 14, -33 12 36) (J2000)
with a systematic uncertainty of 0.2 deg. There is no known bright X-ray source in the error circle.
With examination of older data we find that the X-ray flux was present since 2011-01-11 05:09.
