X-ray Transients Monitored by the All-Sky Monitor on RXTE: A Tabulation
  We present a tabulation of 46 transient x-ray sources monitored with the All-Sky Monitor (ASM) on the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE). They fall into four broad categories: short (~d), intermediate, and long (>500 d) duration of outbursts, and long period binary systems that flare up at periastron (e.g., Be systems). The mixture of outburst/quiescent cycles and low-level persistent emission in a few systems could indicate conditions are near the limit for stable mass flow in the accretion disk. The two short-time-scale systems, CI Cam and V4641 Sgr, are within 1 kpc of the sun, and hence many more such systems may await discovery.
