[vsnet-alert 580] possible EUV ALEXIS transient

[Diane Roussel-Dupre <droussel-dupre@lanl.gov>]

ALEXIS has detected a potential transient in Telescope 2B (186 Angstroms,
66eV) at:

         RA= (22 23 38.4)
         DEC=(61 9.96)
         (Epoch 2000)

         Error circle radius = 0.4 degrees (~90% confidence)

 There was no evidence of the object in the co-aligned telescope 2A (93
eV).  The source turn on appeared to start about 0 UT 8 Nov and was
constant or slowly decaying at 18 UT 8 Nov which is the end of the most
recent data dump from the satellite.

Follow up observations are encouraged
