GRB 220506A/MAXI J1558-266: MAXI/GSC detection
Abstract
The MAXI/GSC nova alert system triggered a bright uncatalogued X-ray transient source at 06:28:15 UT on 2022 May 6. Assuming that the source flux was constant over the transit, we obtain the source position at (R.A., Dec) = (239.698 deg, -26.668 deg) = (15 58 47, -26 40 04) (J2000) with a statistical 90% C.L. elliptical error region with long and short radii of 0.34 deg and 0.27 deg, respectively.
