Identification of Galactic Bulge X-Ray Bursts with Persistent X-Ray Counterparts
Abstract
Details of five X ray bursts seen during a survey of the galactic bulge are presented. They were made with the coded-mask imaging X ray spectrometer between Oct. 1988 and Apr. 1989. The bursts are shown to originate from the previously known burst sources 1702-429, 1728-337 and from close to SLX1744-299. The results which showed that there are in fact two adjacent sources, SLX1744-299 and SLX1744-300, and that it is the latter which is a burst source, are confirmed.
