X-Ray, Transients

Scientific paper

At the scan transit centered at UT 2010-02-02T17:14:52, MAXI/GSC detected a transient X-ray source, which was present at least for 15 seconds within the 110 seconds triangular transit response of MAXI/GSC. The nominal location of the source, assuming that the source flux was constant over the transit (which probably was not), is determined as (R.A., Dec)=(261.05 deg, -32.94 deg) = (17 24 12, -32 56 24) (J2000) with a rectangular 90% statistical error box with the following corners: (R.A., Dec)= (261.11 deg, -33.27 deg) = (17 24 26, -33 16 12)(J2000) (R.A., Dec)= (260.75 deg, -33.23 deg) = (17 23 00, -33 13 48)(J2000) (R.A., Dec)= (261.00 deg, -32.67 deg) = (17 24 00, -32 40 12)(J2000) (R.A., Dec)= (261.36 deg, -32.72 deg) = (17 25 26, -32 43 12)(J2000) The systematic uncertainties are calibrated using bright sources found in the same scan, and therefore, are much smaller.
