Scientific paper

This report is a summary of recent transient activity in the galactic center region, as measured by scanning observations by the RXTE PCA instrument. The specific sources are: SAX J1747.0-2853, GRS 1747-312, RX J170930.2-263927, 4U 1711-34 (= 2S 1711-339), and 4U 1728-34 (= GX 354-0). SAX J1747.0-2853 was detected in outburst on 19.81 Mar 2004 (MJD 53083.81). The previous outburst was seen in September 2001, although it is debatable whether this source entered true "quiescence" or maintained a low level of activity.
