Scientific paper

Observations with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) show that the suspected black-hole binary GX 339-4 has become active after three years in quiescence. At 15:30 UT on 3/26/02, the Proportional Counter Array (PCA) measured an unabsorbed flux of 9.4 x 10^-11 ergs/cm2/s from 2-10 keV, about an order of magnitude higher than the upper limits which had been detected in a year of previous weekly monitoring.
