Scientific paper

We report on the recent optical activity of the high-mass X-ray binary system SAX 2103.5+4545. The source was monitored by ROTSEIIId telescope (Akerlof et al., 2003, PASP, 115, 132) on Bakirlitepe, TUBITAK National Observatory, Turkey. After about 3 years of its optical quiescence, the system shows an increase in the optical brightness starting from August 2010, from its quiescence value of R ~13.2 in ROTSE R-band.
