[vsnet-alert 315] possible ALEXIS transient

[droussel-dupre@Lanl.GOV (Diane Roussel-Dupre)]

ALEXIS has detected a potential transient in Telescope 2A (130 Angstroms,
93eV) at:

         RA= (10 58 43.78)
         DEC=(+00 40 25.4)
         (Current Epoch)

         Error circle radius = 0.5 degrees (~90% confidence)

 There was no evidence of the object in the co-aligned telescope 2B (66
eV).  The source turn on appeared to start about 13 UT 24 Jan.

Simbad only show 14 sources in this direction, l=252, b=+52, which are F, K
stars.

Groundbased observations made at this time will aid in the identification
of the optical counterpart.

More information will be included in the next message
