Abstract During our daily Swift/XRT monitoring observations of the Galactic Center (Degenaar et al. 2015, JHEAp, 7, 137), we detect renewed activity of a transient X-ray source located ~10 arcmin from Sgr A*. The location of this object is consistent with the position of the known neutron star low-mass X-ray binary (LMXB) and thermonuclear X-ray burster GRS 1741.9-2853.
