XTE J1908+094
According to IAUC 7856, Woods et al. reported a new X-ray transient
during observations of SGR 1900+14 on Feb. 21.
The position is
19h 08m 50s
+09 22'.5
(J2000.0, error 2')
The analysis of the X-ray properties suggests that the object is a
new blackhole candidate.
The region is obscured (estimated N_H = 2.3 x 10^22). A search for
the counterpart in infrared and radio wavelengths is encouraged.
