MAXI/GSC detection of an X-ray burst probably from IGR J17254-3257
Abstract
MAXI/GSC detected a bright X-ray burst at the scan transit at 22:08 UT on 2017 February 23. Assuming that the source flux was constant over the transit, we obtain the source position at (R.A., Dec) = (261.420 deg, -33.181 deg) = (17 25 40, -33 10 51) (J2000) with a statistical 90% C.L. elliptical error region with long and short radii of 0.23 deg and 0.21 deg, respectively.
