MCQC J162847-4152: Radio Flare of a Microquasar Candidate
In IAUC 7968, Rupen et al. (NRAO) reported that a strong (about 3-mJy) radio
transient was detected by VLA on Sept. 9. The nominal position of this
transient agrees closely with the position of a probable microquasar 1RXS
J162848.1-415241 = GSC 7861.1088 (vsnet-campaign-xray
155, vsnet-campaign
1336). The object had been optically calm until September 1 (vsnet-campaign
1337, vsnet-campaign-xray
156). B. Monard performed time-series photometry on September 13 and
obtained a light curve without any modulations (vsnet-campaign-xray
158).
