Scientific paper

Analysis HEAO-Al data on MXB1659-29 revealed a 7.1 hour period from this X-ray burst source. The erratic dips seen in both SAS-3 and HEAO-Al data were concentrated within 1.5 hours (about 25%) of the orbital cycle. There appeared to be a stable dip at the end of the 1.5 h of erratic varibility. It was established that the stable dip was a true eclipse of the central X-ray emitting object. MXB1659-29 is the first X-ray burster to show eclipses and a precise orbital clock.
