Abstract

Three X-ray burst sources have been discovered within approximately 0.5 deg of the Galactic center. All bursts from this region show a low-energy cutoff near 3 keV. The bursts from MXB 1743-29 show distinct double and triple peaks; the time interval between bursts from this source was about 1.46 day. The intervals between bursts from MXB 1742-29 and MXB 1743-28 were approximately 0.55 day and 10 min respectively. Steady emission from this collection of burst sources could account for most of the flux from the apparently extended X-ray source GCX (3U 1743-29).
