Scientific paper

A detailed spectral analysis of the second and third type-I X- ray bursts from the neutron star transient XTE J1701-462 (detected on July 20 and July 25, see also ATel #1165) reveals clear photospheric radius expansion in both of them. The bursts show radius expansion for about 2-3 seconds, with the color temperature decreasing from ~2.5 keV to ~1.6 keV and the radius increasing from ~10 km to 20-25 km.
