Type-I X-ray burst
Rapid burster (MXB 1730-335 )Bursting Pulsar (GRO J1744-28 ) type-II X-ray burst Younes et al. 2015 Rapid burster (MXB 1730-335 )Bursting Pulsar (GRO J1744-28 )
spectral softening in decay X-ray bursters Frequent Outbursts of 10-100s duration with lower, persistent X-ray flux inbetween Type I bursts (~111 sources) Thermonuclear By far most of the bursters Type II bursts (2 sources) sudden increases accretion rate Rapid burster (MXB 1730-335 ) Bursting Pulsar (GRO J1744-28 ) Use as handout and maybe project on second screen spectral softening in decay a>30 ( the ration between outburst fluence and burst fluence)
