Scientific paper

We report on the last 12 RXTE observations of the black hole transient GX 339-4, which is currently on outburst (ATELs #2380 and #2384). They have been taken after an observing gap of 34 days due to Sun constraints. They show that after a long stay (~8 months) in the high-soft state (see ATELs #2577 and #2593) where the count rate has decreased from ~ 700 to 100 cts/s, the system has started a transition towards hard states.
