| Abstract | Following our previous reports on a sudden drop but later a steep increase of the source intensity of the black hole candidate MAXI J1659-152 (ATels #3298, #3339, see also ATel #3358), we continued to monitor the source with Swift. An observation was carried out on 2011-05-21 13:10:19 UT with an exposure ~2.9 ks. Our new observation shows that the source re-brightening is continuing. The energy spectrum can be well fitted with an absorbed power-law model. |
