MAXI/GSC detection of the fast X-ray transient XTE J1901+014
Abstract
The MAXI/GSC nova alert system triggered on a bright X-ray transient source at 10:14 UT on December 03, 2019. Assuming that the source flux was constant over two scan transients at 10:14 and 11:47 UT, we obtain the source position at (R.A., Dec) = (285.276 deg, 1.494 deg) = (19 01 06, +01 29 38) (J2000) with a statistical 90% C.L. elliptical error region with long and short radii of 0.26 deg and 0.19 deg, respectively.
