Scientific paper

We report a new source discovered by the RXTE ASM and follow- up observations with the RXTE PCA. Observations with the RXTE All-Sky Monitor on 2006 Jan. 26 suggested the sudden appearance of a very bright X-ray source near ra=274.56, dec=-32.92 (degrees, J2000). The angular proximity to the sun limited the number of dwells and the position accuracy. The (2-12 keV) flux was 0.93 (0.03) Crab, compared to an upper limit (3 sigma) of 0.05 mCrab on Jan.
