MAXI/GSC detection of an X-ray brightening from the Be/X-ray binary pulsar LS V +44 17
Abstract
The MAXI/GSC nova alert system triggered a bright X-ray transient source on 2022 December 29 (MJD 59942). Assuming that the source flux was constant over the transits, we obtain the source position at (R.A., Dec) = (70.253 deg, 44.378 deg) = (04 41 00, +44 22 40) (J2000) with a 90% C.L. statistical error of 0.13 deg and an additional systematic uncertainty of 0.1 deg (90% containment radius).
