The MAXI/GSC nova alert system triggered on a faint uncatalogued X-ray transient source
at 10:28:03 UT on January 22, 2024.
Because our localization program did not run, we can not provide a precise error region.
The source position determined with the nova alert system (Negoro et al. 2016) is
(R.A., Dec) = (92.827 deg, -19.031 deg) = (06 11 18, -19 01 51) (J2000)
with an uncertainty of more than 30 arc-min. The burst duration is about 10 sec, and
the 2-10 keV X-ray flux around the peak was about 150 mCrab.
There was no significant excess flux in the previous transit at 08:55 UT
and in the next transit at 12:00 UT with an upper limit of 20 mCrab for each.
