| Abstract |
We report our most recent Swift observations of the black hole candidate MAXI J1659-152. After the observed re-brightening in May (ATels #3298, #3339, #3379), the source steadily decreased in luminosity. Our recent three observations taken on 07-15 (~1.3 ks), 07-17 (~0.9 ks), and 07-19 (~1.2 ks) show that the source intensity has dropped significantly, indicating that the source might be quiescent again. |
