Scientific paper

The soft X-ray transient, "MX0656-072", has begun a new X-ray outburst. Observations with the RXTE All-Sky Monitor reveal a slowly increasing flux during the last 7 days, reaching a value of 75 (5) mCrab at 2-12 keV on 2003 October 18. The ASM position is consistent with the 3' error box (J2000 center in degrees: 104.612, -7.263) produced by Ariel V during the 1975-1976 outburst. The current X-ray flux is similar to the peak value (80 mCrab) seen in sparse measurements of the first outburst.
