MAX/GSC and Swift/XRT detection of an X-ray flare from 1RXS J043657.1-161258
Abstract
The MAXI/GSC nova alert system triggered a bright uncatalogued X-ray transient source at 2014/10/29 04:32:09 UT . Assuming that the source flux was constant over the transit, we obtain the source position at (R.A., Dec) = (69.413 deg, -16.481 deg) = (04 37 39, -16 28 51) (J2000) with a statistical 90% C.L.
