XRISM/Xtend Transient Search (XTS) detected an X-ray flare from an X-ray source XRISM J1045-5941 on 2025-09-04 TT. The source position is determined to be (R.A., Dec.) = (161.422, -59.806), with a systematic error of ∼ 40 arcsec. A plausible counterpart is 4XMM J104541.1-594824. 4XMM J104541.1-594824 is located ∼ 4 arcsec apart from the position of XRISM J1045-5941. All statistical uncertainties in this report are provided as a 90% confidence level unless stated otherwise.
The flare started at 2025-09-04 at ∼ 06:45 TT. The flare reached its peak on 2025-09-04 at ∼ 08:38. The flare exponentially decayed in1.3 (+8.6/-0.6) × 104 sec.
The peak flux is calculated as 3.8 (+1.0/-0.8) × 10-13 erg s-1 cm-2 (0.4 – 10.0 keV). A systematic error of roughly 20% should be added to the statistical error.
We derived the above systematic error for the flux by comparing our derived values for the sources detected with XTS in several observations with those for the corresponding X-ray counterparts. We estimated the systematic error for the source position from the separations between the detected sources with the corresponding counterparts in the same field of view.
