Scientific paper

Prompted by the announcement of a strong flare seen on 2006 May 26 in the low-mass X-ray binary and X-ray burster 1A 1246-588 (ATel #830) we further analyzed the RXTE/ASM data. The X-ray emission during the flare is significantly harder than the X-ray emission before and after the flare. During the decay of the flare the X-ray emission softens. The decay of the flare can be described by an exponential with a decay time of a few minutes.
