Scientific paper

We report the discovery of a cyclotron line from the binary X-ray pulsar GX 304-1. After the report of the outburst onset (ATel#2779), the source flux has reached ~700 mCrab in 4-10 keV on August 16, 2010. The outburst is still continuing. According to the MAXI and Swift/BAT light curves we requested RXTE and Suzaku TOO observations. Suzaku observation was done in Aug.13 16:10 - 23:00 UT for 20ks.
