Quick-look analysis of the first of a series of INTEGRAL ToO observations (ATel #980) shows that GX 339-4 has brightened with respect to the fluxes reported in Atel #980. The source, observed between UT 2007 Jan 30 15:56 and Feb 1 06:11,
was detected by both IBIS/ISGRI and JEMX with fluxes of about 380 mCrab, 570 mCrab, 650 mCrab and 610 mCrab in the 3-10 keV, 10-20 keV, 20-40 keV and 40-80 keV bands, respectively.
We note that the next set of ToO observations (see ATel #980) are currently
foreseen between 2007, Feb 14 19:01 and Feb 16 05:33. Again, contemporaneous radio and IR observations are particularly encouraged.
