Giant outburst of the Be X-ray binary GX 304-1

Abstract:

The Be X-ray binary GX 304-1 is currently undergoing a giant outburst. The structure of the outburst thus far consists of a small precursor followed by the giant outburst. The GBM Pulsar Monitor observed the precursor reaching a peak RMS pulsed flux of 87+/-3 mCrab in the 12-50 keV band on 56210 MJD (October 10 2012). The RMS pulsed flux then fell to a low of 11+/-2 mCrab on 56222 MJD (22 October 2012) before initiating the giant outburst.
