Scientific paper

The light curve of "x1608-522" from the RXTE All-Sky Monitor on 2005 May 5 reveals a likely superburst lasting many hours. The ASM flux (2-12 keV) had been roughly steady during the last few days, ending with the measurement of 0.34 (03) Crab on MJD 53495.03995. The next measurement shows an abrupt increase to 1.25 (0.03) Crab on MJD 53495.10365, increasing to 1.50 (04) Crab on 53495.10476. Thereafter, the flux decays on a slower timescale, reaching 0.60 Crab at MJD 53495.62.
