We report the results of an observation with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer of the black hole candidate GX 339-4 during its 2002/2003 outburst. This observation took place during a spectral transition from the hard to the soft state. A strong (6% rms) transient quasi-periodic oscillation (QPO) appears suddenly in the power density spectrum during this observation. The QPO centroid is similar to6 Hz, but it varies significantly between 5 and 7 Hz with a characteristic time scale of similar to10 s, correlated with the 2-30 keV count rate. The appearance of the QPO is related to spectral hardening of the flux, due to a change in the relative contribution of the soft and hard spectral components. We compare this peculiar behavior with results from other systems that show similar low frequency QPO peaks, and discuss the results in terms of possible theoretical models for QPO production.
