Scientific paper

Recent measurements of the recurrent black hole transient and microquasar 4U 1630-47 with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer All-Sky Monitor indicate that a new outburst from this source may be beginning. On Dec. 8, a single ASM dwell gave a count rate of 10.6 +/- 3.7 counts/s (151 +/- 48 millicrab, 1.5-12 keV). Four measurements on Dec. 14 confirm this detection with an average count rate of 12.6 +/- 1.1 counts/s (168 +/- 15 millicrab).
