Scientific paper

The transient pulsar GRO J1008-57 may be starting an outburst. On Feb 18.00, the ASM on the Rossi X-Ray timing Explorer (RXTE) detected a flux of 36(3) mCrab. The source first spent a week, starting on Feb 6, at a level of 5 mcrab; it then rose to 20 mcrab on Feb 15. The ASM hardness ratio HR2 is 2.0(0.3), consistent with a pulsar spectrum, in comparison to the Crab at 1, though soft compared to the still active V0332+53.
