Scientific paper

An argument is presented to the effect that a disk-reflected component should be present in the spectra of X-ray bursts and is best seen just after the burst peak when the reflected photons, delayed by their passage to the site of reflection, appear in stronger contrast to the fast-declining primary emission from the cooling neutron star. It is shown that disk reflection has an observable effect on the spectrum of the burst tail. The possible use of the concomitant absorption edge as a diagnostic of the accretion disk is discussed.
