Scientific paper

Since our last report on the transient Z source XTE J1701-462 (ATel #725), RXTE has continued observing the source on an almost daily basis. Spectral evolution similar to that reported by Homan et al. (ATel #725) is being observed, albeit at progressively lower luminosities, suggesting that the source has begun its decay. By following the count rate of a fixed location along the 'Z-track' (we chose the middle of the normal branch) we estimate that the luminosity has decreased by a factor of two since maximum.
