report on behalf of the MAXI team:
At 13:56:30 UT, the MAXI/GSC nova alert system triggered a bright uncatalogued X-ray
transient source at the position
(R.A., Dec) = (190.278 deg, 71.742 deg) = (12 41 07, +71 44 31) (J2000).
The position is consistent with that reported by Markwardt et al. (GCN 17688).
The X-ray flux averaged over the scan was 440 +- 40 mCrab
(4-10keV, 1 sigma error).
There was no significant excess flux in the previous transit at UT 12:24
with an upper limit of 20 mCrab.
