Assuming that the source flux was constant over the transit,\nwe obtain the source position at\n(R.A., Dec) = (346.565 deg, 18.607 deg) = (23 06 15, +18 36 25) (J2000)\nwith a statistical 90% C.L. elliptical error region\nwith long and short radii of 0.22 deg and 0.19 deg, respectively.\nThe roll angle of long axis from the north direction is 153.0 deg counterclockwise.\nWithout assumptions on the source constancy, we obtain a rectangular error box \nfor the transient source with the following corners.\n(196.900, -21.911) deg = (13 07 36, -21 54 39) (J2000)\n(196.998, -22.143) deg = (13 07 59, -22 08 34) (J2000)\n(198.373, -21.637) deg = (13 13 29, -21 38 13) (J2000)\n(198.273, -21.406) deg = (13 13 05, -21 24 21) (J2000)\nThere is an additional systematic uncertainty of 0.1 deg (90% containment radius).\nThe X-ray flux averaged over the scan was 182 +- 28 mCrab (4.0-10.0keV, 1 sigma error).\nThere was no significant excess flux in the previous transit at 07:22 UT with an upper limit of 20 mCrab.",
