Detection of X-ray bursts from IGR J17597-2201 by JEM-X on INTEGRAL
Abstract
We report the detection of two X-ray bursts from IGR J17597-2201 with the JEM-X X-ray monitor on INTEGRAL. The bursts were detected during the INTEGRAL TOO observation of SGR 1806-20, April 6-8 2007. The bursts occurred on April 07 2007, 10:06:36 UT and on April 08 2007, 06:40:36 UT, and reached a peak flux of about 0.5 Crab in the 3-10 keV band. The bursts showed a fast rise and exponential decay with an e-folding time of about 5 seconds.
