Scientific paper

We report the discovery of a new outburst of the recurrent X-ray transient CXOM31J004217.0+411508 (r3-46) in a 4.4 ks Swift XRT observation (ObsID 00035336022) starting on 2010-07-09.95 UT. The source was not yet active in the preceding 3.9 ks observation of the XRT monitoring campaign (00035336021) starting on 2010-07-07.07 UT. We find count rates of 10.6+-1.9 ct/ks and <2.0 ct/ks, respectively, which correspond to luminosities (0.2-10 keV) of 3.5e37 erg/s and <0.7e37 erg/s (assuming an absorbed power-law model with photon index = 1.7 and NH = 6.6e20 cm-2 at a distance of 780 kpc).
