Abstract (from CDS):

On 2011 August 30, MAXI/GSC detected a previously unknown transient source at the position of (RA, Dec) = (279.12 -19.41; J2000) with a systematic uncertainty of 0.2 deg. We name this source MAXI J1836-194. Preliminary analysis of MAXI/GSC data shows that the source has brightened since the beginning of 2011 August 29, and the 4-10 keV fluxes on August 30 reached approximately 25 mCrab.

Swift/BAT also detects this transient source in the 15-50 keV band. The best BAT position is (RA, Dec) = (278.959, -19.385; J2000) with a 90% error radius of 3 arc minutes. The source was first detected on 2011 August 29 (MJD 55802) at a rate of 0.006 ± 0.0007 ct/s/cm^2 (∼30 mCrab). The source remained at a comparable rate on Aug. 30. It was not detectable on Aug. 28 (3-sigma upper limit of 0.0025 ct/s/cm^2). It was detected on-board Swift in a 1576-second observation starting at UT 10:14:56 on Aug. 30 at 5-sigma significance, which was below the threshold for triggering.

Follow-up target of opportunity observations of MAXI J1836-194 by Swift are currently being performed and will be reported on in a later ATEL. Follow-up observations at multi-wavelengths are strongly encouraged.
