Scientific paper

Analysis of the arrival times of X-ray and optical bursts from the X-ray burst source MXB1735-44 shows that the onset of one optical burst was delayed 2.8 sec with respect to the X-ray burst. Observations of the pulses are accurate to less than or equal to five ms. The delay in the optical pulse may be attributed to light travel time in the system and/or the time needed to reprocess X-rays into light.
