Scientific paper

Observations of X-ray source MXB 1730-335 have revealed two distinct types of bursts: Type I bursts, having an interval of hours to several days, and Type II bursts, having a much shorter interval, usually on the order of several seconds to minutes. Nineteen bursts were detected having a different spectral appearance; they were longer lasting than usual Type II bursts, were out of sequence with the others, and had a softer spectra. The proposed explanation is that instabilities in stellar accretion dynamics account for the persistant X-ray emission of the more usual Type II bursts, while the Type I bursts have a thermonuclear origin.
