Scientific paper

We have recently identified an X-ray source at LX =6*1033 ergs/s in archival (2004) Chandra HETGS zeroth-order images of the globular cluster M15. Through June and July 2007, the RXTE ASM has observed M15 to reach luminosities of 50 mCrab (~4 times normal), which is the highest observed by RXTE since 1996 (from ASM/RXTE teams at MIT and GSFC).
