MAXI /GSC detection of a new X-ray transient MAXI J0903-531
Abstract
The MAXI/GSC nova alert system triggered a bright uncatalogued X-ray transient source at 04:33 UT on 2021 April 14. Assuming that the source flux was constant over 41 transits from 17:18 on April 13th, we obtain the source position at (R.A., Dec) = (135.898 deg, -53.132 deg) = (09 03 35, -53 07 55) (J2000) with a statistical 90% C.L. elliptical error region with long and short radii of 0.53 deg and 0.4 deg, respectively.
