Scientific paper

The Rapid Burster (MXB 1730-335) has been detected by the All-Sky Monitor (2-12 keV) of the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer satellite (RXTE) in two consecutive 90-second dwells beginning at 18 August 1998 08:40 UT. The source was detected at fitted count rates of 45 and 15 cts/sec (per SSC), respectively, with uncertainties of ~3 cts/sec for each. Examination of the multiple time series data for these dwells indicates that the dramatic difference in count rates is likely due to a strong flare event (probably a type II burst) that began 10 seconds after the start of the first dwell, and was decaying away by the start of the second.
