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.Comment: 18 pages, 2 figures, Submitted for publication in "X-ray Astronomy
