We report recent activities of the globular cluster M15. MAXI/GSC detected an X-ray burst at the scan transit centered at UT 2011-05-16T23:23:41. The burst was detected at least for 30.0 seconds within the 50.5 seconds triangular transit response of MAXI/GSC. The nominal location of the source, assuming that the source flux was constant over the transit (which probably was not), is determined as (R.A., Dec) = (+322.27 deg, +12.14 deg) = (21 29 6, +12 08 23)(J2000) with a rectangular 90% statistical error box with the following corners: (R.A., Dec) = (+322.31 deg, +11.95 deg) = (21 29 14, +11 57 11)(J2000) (R.A., Dec) = (+322.06 deg, +12.10 deg) = (21 28 15, +12 06 9)(J2000) (R.A., Dec) = (+322.24 deg, +12.32 deg) = (21 28 57, +12 19 23)(J2000) (R.A., Dec) = (+322.48 deg, +12.17 deg) = (21 29 56, +12 10 24)(J2000) There is additional systematic uncertainty of 0.2 degree (90% containment radius).
