Abstract
The Rapid Burster is a unique X-ray source which produces rapidly repetitive X-ray bursts. Each rapid burst shows a characteristic structure in its decay part comprising successive peaks. We have now discovered that the structure of each individual burst shows a nearly identical profile except for the timescale, which differs largely from burst to burst; the profile of the decay is timescale invariant. This invariance holds over a wide range of timescales to at least a factor of 30. Furthermore, we have found that the heights of successive peaks as well as the intervals between them decrease with time according to a common arithmetic rule.
