Spectral properties of a sample of low luminosity type I X-ray bursters
Abstract
I report on a sample of new type I X-ray bursters, firstly detected with the Wide Field Cameras on board BeppoSAX and then studied with the Narrow Field Instruments on a broad spectral range (0.1-200 keV). Properties of the transient/persistent emission are summarized and the broad band X-ray spectra discussed in detail for a few sources.
