Scientific paper

Recent data from the All Sky Monitor (ASM) onboard the RXTE satellite has detected an increase in X-rays within the 2-12 keV band. The ASM measured an increase in X-rays starting around 23 June 2010 (MJD 55370) and peaking on 1 July 2010 (MJD 55377.8) with a brightness of 51.92 c/s (688 mCrab) and HR2 = 1.088. In-addition, monitoring with the SWIFT-BAT (15-150 keV) has shown no significant increase, but radio observations with the AMI radio interferometer (15 GHz), have not yet shown any significant radio flaring either.
