[vsnet-campaign-xray 126] XTE J1908+094

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.
