Scientific paper

We analyzed 32 RXTE/PCA observations of MAXI J1659-152 (Negoro et al. 2010, ATel #2873; Mangano et al. 2010, GCN #11296) from UT 2010 Sep 28 through to 2010 Oct 11. The total exposure is 72.5 ks. We produced light curves from PCU2 with 16-s bins over the full PCA range and over the 2-4.5 keV range. Since the average count rate of the source increases secularly because of the ongoing outburst, for each observation interval (corresponding to an RXTE orbit) we subtracted the mean count rate.
