Hiraizumi (Miyazaki U.), K. Yamaoka (Nagoya U.), M. Sugizaki (Kanazawa U.), W. Iwakiri (Chiba U.), S. Yamada (Tohoku U) report on behalf of the MAXI team: The MAXI/GSC nova alert system triggered a bright uncatalogued X-ray transient source at 20:54:12 UT on November 12, 2025. Assuming that the source flux was constant over the transit, we obtain the source position at (R.A., Dec) = (278.962 deg, 18.196 deg) = (18 35 50, +18 11 45) (J2000) with a statistical 90% C.L. elliptical error region with long and short radii of 0.30 deg and 0.26 deg, respectively. The roll angle of long axis from the north direction is 99.0 deg counterclockwise. There is an additional systematic uncertainty of 0.1 deg (90% containment radius). The X-ray flux averaged over the scan was 146 +- 34 mCrab (4.0-10.0keV, 1 sigma error). Without assumptions on the source constancy, we obtain a rectangular error box for the transient source with the following corners: (R.A., Dec) = (277.696, 16.760) deg = (18 30 47, +16 45 36) (J2000) (R.A., Dec) = (278.212, 16.464) deg = (18 32 50, +16 27 50) (J2000) (R.A., Dec) = (279.748, 18.876) deg = (18 38 59, +18 52 33) (J2000) (R.A., Dec) = (279.227, 19.177) deg = (18 36 54, +19 10 37) (J2000) There was no significant excess flux in the previous transit at 19:21 UT and in the next transit at 22:27 UT with an upper limit of 20 mCrab for each.
