Scientific paper

Since 1996 a monitoring campaign of the Galactic Bulge region has been performed by the BeppoSAX Wide Field Cameras in the 2-28 keV band. This allowed accurate and unbiased studies of classes of objects. In particular the type-I X-ray bursters, whose distribution is concentrated in the monitored sky region, have been investigated. High luminosity radius-expansion bursts have been observed from nine sources, allowing to estimate important physical parameters such as distance, photospheric radius, averaged luminosity and accretion rate. An overview of these results is presented.
