The MAXI/GSC auto-detection alert system independently detected a new transient source at a position (R.A., Dec) = (+254.79 deg, -15.27 deg) = (16h59m10s, -15d16m05s) (J2000) with a typical systematic uncertainty of 0.2 deg, consistent with GRB 100925A detected by Swift/BAT (Mangano et al. GCN #11296). MAXI/GSC data, however, suggests that the source has brightened since around 2010-09-25 02:30, and almost linearly increased.
