| Abstract | On May 10-11 2008, a series of 7 Chandra/HRC-I observations was performed as part of our XMM-Newton/Chandra monitoring campaign of the region around Sgr A* (Wijnands et al. 2006, A&A, 449, 1117). Three X-ray transients were active during our observations. We detect a very-faint X-ray transient with an HRC-I count rate of ~3E-2 count/s at a position of R.A. = 17h 44m 51.61s and Dec. = -29h 20m 42.2s (J2000, with an error radius of 0.6"). |
