dc.description.abstractXRISM/Xtend Transient Search (XTS) detected an X-ray flare from an X-ray source XRISM J1236-3952 on 2025-06-22 TT. The source position is determined to be (R.A., Dec.) = (189.005, -39.874), with a systematic error of ∼ 40 arcsec. A plausible counterpart is a Young Stellar Object Candidate TWA 11 (HD 109573). TWA 11 is located ∼ 13 arcsec apart from the position of XRISM J1236-3952 All statistical uncertainties in this report are provided as a 90% confidence level unless stated otherwise. The flare started at 2025-06-22 at ∼ 04:16 TT. The flare reached its peak on 2025-06-22 at ∼ 05:09. The flare exponentially decayed in 4 × 10³ sec. This source also showed fluctuations in flux within a range of ∼ 10 times during the observation conducted the day before. The peak flux is calculated as 1 × 10⁻¹¹ erg s⁻¹ cm⁻² (0.4 – 10.0 keV). A systematic error of roughly 20% should be added to the statistical error. The corresponding luminosity is 8 × D₇₀ₚ꜀ × 10³⁰ erg s⁻¹ by assuming the distance to XRISM J1236-3952 of D₆₇ₚ꜀. 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.
