[vsnet-alert 614] possible EUV ALEXIS transient

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

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

         RA= (08 54.29)
         DEC=(26 42.8)
         (Epoch 2000)

         Error circle radius = 0.55 degrees (~90% confidence)

There was no evidence of the object in the co-aligned telescope 2B (66
eV).  The source appeared to turn on about 8 UT 6 Dec, 1996, peaked at 20
UT 6 Dec and was in the process of decaying at 0 UT 7 Dec when the most
recent contact with the satellite was made.

A simbad search reveals 19 sources in the error box. Follow up observations
are encouraged
