Descripción
We report a rebrightening of the newly discovered transient MAXI J0556-332 (ATEL #3102, #3103, #3104, #3106, #3110, #3112, #3116, #3119) in optical through soft-X-ray wavelengths. The source is being monitored regularly in the I-band using the SMARTS 1.3m telescope in CTIO, and the I-band light curve has been showing a monotonically increasing trend since 55670.9748 (2011 April 19.97, when the I-band magnitude was 18.39 ± 0.15).
