Scientific paper

We report the detection of a new outburst of a source designated XTE J1728-295 in the RXTE PCA scans, which is probably the same as IGR J17285-2922. This source was first detected in August-October 2003 with PCA scans of the galactic center region, and is speculated to be a black hole candidate (Barlow et al. 2005, A&A, 437, L27). In PCA scans on 2010-08-28 near 09:35 UTC, the source rose to a flux of 6.5 mCrab (2-10 keV).
