MAXI/GSC detected X-ray brightening of a LMXB, 4U1608-52. The source flux began to increase steeply on 2011 March 24.0 (MJD=55644.0), and reached about 0.5 Crab (4-10 keV) on 2011 March 25 (MJD 55645). It indicates that the source has entered a new active state. Swift/BAT also detected the beginning of this outburst on March 23 (http://swift.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/swift/results/transients/H1608-522/).
