MAXI/GSC detected a new activity from transient pulsar GX 304-1. The figure shows the lightcurve folded with 132.5-day orbital period. As shown in below figure, the current flux increase is about 1-week earlier than that of the previous outburst within the orbital cycle of 132.5-day period. Thus, the current activity may be a precursor, or an onset of an anomalous giant outburst that occurs out of regular recurrent phase. We have reported this news to Astronomer’s Telegram #3075.
