Abstract:

An ultrasoft transient X-ray source was discovered near the Galactic bulge region with the Ginga satellite. The source position was redetermined using the revised satellite attitude data, and is in agreement with those of transient sources, KS 1732-273 and 1RXS J173602.0-272541. The X-ray spectrum was represented by a multicolor disk model with a temperature at the inner disk radius of 0.7–0.8 keV. The obtained spectral parameters are consistent with those of black hole binaries.
