The ALEXIS Satellite has detected a transient source in Telescope 2A (130
Angstroms). There is no evidence of the source in the co-aligned 2B
telescope (186 Angstroms).
Position : RA = 16 47 23.6 DEC = -31 41 26.7 Epoch = J2000
Error Circle: +/- 0.5 Degrees (90% confidence)
The source appeared to turn on at ~ 8:00 UT 1997 Feb 23
and was still active in the most recent
ALEXIS data at 21:00 UT 1997 Feb 23.
A quick check of SIMBAD and the ROSAT X-ray Catalog shows no obvious
counterpart listed.
Followup observations are encouraged.
