An X-ray outburst was recently detected by the Einstein Probe mission and designated EP J0052.9-7230 (ATel #16631). Swift's S-CUBED survey (Kennea et al. 2018) then localized the event to the X-ray source CXOU J005245.0-722844 and noted that the soft spectrum is consistent with a Be X-ray binary (BeXRB) system with a white dwarf as the compact object (ATel #16633).
