Scientific paper

An extremely intense burst of hard X-rays and gamma-rays that was recorded by the nine interplanetary spacecraft of the burst sensor network and localized by time-of-flight determinations to a position coincident with the supernova remnant N49 in the Large Magellanic Cloud is analyzed. The region of the sky was observed both before and after the gamma-ray event with the soft X-ray imaging instruments aboard the Einstein Observatory. Coupled with the optical plate material, the soft X-ray data is used to place severe constraints on models for the origin of the transient phenomena.
