report on behalf of the MAXI team:

The MAXI/GSC nova alert system triggered a bright uncatalogued X-ray
transient source at 07:58:01 UT on 2019 August 28.
Assuming that the source flux was constant over the transit,
we obtain the source position at
(R.A., Dec) = (58.011 deg, 46.448 deg) = (03 52 02, +46 26 52)  (J2000)
with a 90% C.L. statistical error of 0.25 deg and an additional
systematic uncertainty of 0.1 deg (90% containment radius).

Without assumptions on the source constancy, we obtain a rectangular error
box for the transient source with the following corners:
(56.303, 46.041) deg = (03 45 12, +46 02 27) (J2000)
(56.644, 45.605) deg = (03 46 34, +45 36 17) (J2000)
(60.044, 46.816) deg = (04 00 10, +46 48 57) (J2000)
(59.724, 47.262) deg = (03 58 53, +47 15 43) (J2000)

The X-ray flux averaged over the scan was 193 +- 27 mCrab
(4.0-10.0keV, 1 sigma error).
