Descripción
The paper confirms the report of Kulkarni et al. (1979) who discovered
IR bursts from the X-ray rapid burster, MXB1730-335. Two bursts at 2.2
microns, each of energy about 10 to the 31 J, and a new feature, several
bright, brief flashes (delta t is less than 2s) superimposed on the
burst continuum were observed. The brevity, luminosity and inferred
brightness temperature of the flashes (T(B) about not less than 10 to
the 10 K) imply a powerful, non-thermal emission mechanism. Simultaneous
observations across the whole spectrum with high time resolution would
be invaluable in understanding the emission.
