A long flux enhancement, with an exponential decay time of 86 min, is detected in 4U 1735-44 with the BeppoSAX Wide Field Cameras. We argue that this is a type-I X-ray burst, making it the longest such burst ever observed. Current theories for thermonuclear bursts predict shorter and more frequent bursts for the observed persistent accretion rate.

  1. Connecting the m-dots: accretion rates and thermonuclear burst recurrence times on neutron stars and white dwarfs

    astro-ph.HE 2025-05 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    The authors claim a common inverse t_rec-mdot relation for thermonuclear runaways on neutron stars and white dwarfs, despite weak correlation in their own compiled data.

  2. Tracing the outburst decay of soft X-ray transients Aql X-1 and 4U 1608-52 with XSPECT

    astro-ph.HE 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    XSPECT observations of two soft X-ray transients during outburst decay reveal superburst evolution with cooling blackbody emission and a flux-dependent hardening of Comptonized spectra.
