Two new X-ray transients near the Galactic Centre
Abstract
Analysis of data obtained in 1989 with the X-ray widefield camera TTM of the ROENTGEN-KVANT-MIR observatory revealed the existence of two new X-ray transients: KS1732-273 and KS1741-293, the latter of which is situated in the error boxes of MXB1742-29 as well as MXB1743-29. Significant detections of KS1741-293 were made on 3 consecutive days during which it exhibited 2 bursts.
