First detection of a thermonuclear X-ray burst from IGR J17445-2747 (with INTEGRAL/JEM-X)
Abstract
During INTEGRAL observations of the Galactic Center field on April 10, 2017, its JEM-X telescope detected an X-ray burst with a FRED-like (fast 5-s rise and long 25-s exponential decay) shape which is characteristic of type-I X-ray bursts associated with thermonuclear explosions at the surface of neutron stars.
