[vsnet-alert 563] Potential ALEXIS EUV transient

[Jeff Bloch <jbloch@nis.lanl.gov>]

Pardon this second e-mail, but I caught a couple of typos in my first 
message. The corrected message is included below for the record.


> The ALEXIS Satellite has detected a potential EUV transient in telescope 
 **2A** (93eV/130 Angstrom bandpass). The co-aligned 186 Angstrom/66 eV 
> telescope did not detect the source, although the coverage for that 
> telescope is poor due to high background effects.
> 
> The best fit location is:  RA= 01h 32m 29s DEC= -28d 23m 30s +/- 0.3 degrees.
> 
> The source turned on sometime between 18UT 10/10/96 and 6UT 10/11/96 and 
> may have turned off again ~23UT 10/11/96, but the data coverage at that 
> time was poor. We will have more data from the satellite by
  10AM MDT ****10/12****.
> 
> Follow-up observations are greatly appreciated.
