Scientific paper

The rapid burster (MXB1730-335) is a distinct X-ray burster from which both type I and II bursts are observed. A model for the rapid burster based on the observed properties of type II bursts is proposed. In the model the rapid burster is assumed to be a binary system involving a magnetized accreting neutron star. The magnetic field strength of the neutron star is discussed. It is estimated to be B approximately 10 to the 8th power G at the neutron star surface. The high energy power law component observed in the spectra of type II bursts is presented. In the model high energy X-ray photons are produced through the Compton scattering with electrons in the accretion flow. It is also shown that the model spectrum fits with the observed one quantitatively.
