Scientific paper

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.
