Scientific paper

A search through the publicly available RXTE/ASM database of GX 3+1 revealed a single flare with an observed peak flux of ~1.1 Crab and a duration of a few hours. The flare started between 1998 June 8 22:53 and 1998 June 9 00:52 (UT). During the exponential decay, with an e-folding time of 1.6+/-0.2 hrs (1.5-12 keV), spectral softening is observed. The net emission (=flare emission minus pre-flare emission) at the peak is consistent with black-body radiation with a temperature of kT ~2 keV.
