MAXI/GSC detection of an X-ray short transient event MAXI J0709-159
Abstract
The MAXI/GSC nova alert system triggered a bright uncatalogued X-ray transient source at 10:42:28 UT on 2022 January 25. Assuming that the source flux was constant over the transit, we obtain the source position at (R.A., Dec) = (107.280 deg, -15.923 deg) = (07 09 07, -15 55 22) (J2000) with a statistical 90% C.L. elliptical error region with long and short radii of 0.16 deg and 0.14 deg, respectively.
