Scientific paper

Recent RXTE observations of MAXI J1659-152 (Negoro et al. 2010, ATel #2873; Mangano et al. 2010, GCN #11296) show that MAXI J1659-152 performed a transition from soft states to the hard intermediate state between Oct 31 (07:51 UT; observation 95118-01-16-00) and Nov 01 (05:15; observation 95118-01-16-01). A timing analysis of these two observations shows that fractional rms increases from 8% to 15% during the above period, being now consistent with the typical values observed in the hard intermediate state (Muñoz-Darias et al., 2010, arXiv:1008.0558).
