MAXI/GSC discovery of a new X-ray transient MAXI J1348-630
Abstract
The MAXI/GSC nova alert system triggered on an uncatalogued X-ray transient source at 03:16 UT on 2019 January 26. Assuming that the source flux was constant over four transits from 21:05 on Jan. 25 to 03:16 on Jan. 26, we obtain the source position at (R.A., Dec) = (207.053 deg, -63.068 deg) = (13 48 12, -63 04 04) (J2000) with a statistical 90% C.L. elliptical error region with long and short radii of 0.42 deg and 0.34 deg, respectively.
