Scientific paper

The bright X-ray source in Terzan 2 (possibly 4U 1724-307) has undergone a flux transition. In PCA monitoring observations of the galactic bulge, the flux of this source up to November 2003 had been a relatively steady at 20 mCrab. Monitoring observations on Feb 7.6, 10.8 and 14.9 show the flux increasing to levels of 34, 44 and 66 mCrab respectively (2-10 keV). In the time between November and February, pointing constraints prevented monitoring observations, but the current trend suggests a rapid and ongoing flux increase.
