ESA's XMM-Newton, in its Slew Survey mode, has detected a very bright (53.7 ct/s in EPIC-pn [0.2-2 keV]), new transient at a position of: RA, Dec (J2000) = 07:05:42.7 -38:14:42 (estimated error radius: 8 arcseconds). It was detected in an XMM-Newton Slew from 8th October 2007, and is seen to have increased in flux over the ROSAT All-Sky Survey (RASS) upper limit by a factor of more than 400.
