Abstract

The observations of X-ray Type II bursts from the low-mass X-ray binary MXB 1730–335 can be explained by a particular form of magnetic gating in the presence of steady external accretion. The requirements are a strong magnetic field of the neutron star (7 × 1011 – 2 × 1012 gauss at the surface), rotational symmetry and alignment of the field axis with the axis of a steadily accreting disk to within 6°.
