[vsnet-obs 63122] Special: The RXTE X-ray lightcurve of Eta Car through Dec 8

[Michael Corcoran]

The RXTE X-ray lightcurve of Eta Car through Dec 8 is below.  Looks  
like the maximum was reached sometime between Dec 6 and Dec 8, and the  
flux may be on the way down.  Caveat: the Dec 8 point was derived  
using a predicted saa file to calculate background, so there may be  
some change when we get the processed data next week.

cheers

Mike
