MAXI/GSC detection of a new X-ray transient MAXI J1803-298
Abstract
The MAXI/GSC nova alert system triggered a bright uncatalogued X-ray transient source at 19:50 UT on 2021 May 1. Assuming that the source flux was constant over each transit, we obtain the source position at (R.A., Dec) = (270.923 deg, -29.804 deg) = (18 03 41, -29 48 14) (J2000) with a statistical 90% C.L. elliptical error region with long and short radii of 0.31 deg and 0.26 deg, respectively.
