Since January 19 the new X-ray transient XTE J1701-462 (ATels #696, #703, #708, #710) has been observed more than 45 times with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE). Preliminary analysis of the RXTE data suggest the source is a neutron star LMXB and is currently showing behavior typical of the so-called "Z sources" (i.e. the brightest, persistent neutron star LMXBs). This would make XTE J1701-462 the first new Z source in nearly 35 years.
