X-ray bursts from 1RXS J170930.2-263927 = XTE J1709-267

Abstract

We report evidence of type-I X-ray bursting activity from the transient 1RXS J170930.2-263927 when it was in outburst early 1997. This identifies the source as a probable low-mass X-ray binary containing a neutron star. The error boxes of the detected bursts and of the persistent emission, as obtained with the Wide Field Cameras on board the BeppoSAX satellite, rule out an association with the proposed radio counterpart (Hjellming & Rupen 1997).
