Scientific paper

We report on preliminary results of ongoing Swift observations of the Be/X-ray binary GX 304-1. First activity of this source was reported on 2010 December 9 (ATEL #3075). Since December 12 several flares were detected, with a flux increasing to 500mCrab. This might indicate a further giant outburst as seen in August this year (ATEL #2779), which was the sixth outburst after 28 years of quiescence with a Swift/BAT flux of 1.4Crab.
