Scientific paper

A type I X-ray burst has been detected from the bright X-ray source X2127 + 11. The burst was of long duration and had a precursor separated from the main peak by about 6 s. Thus, the burst was very energetic and a large photospheric expansion occurred. The observed burst peak luminosity, well above 10 to the 38th erg/s, is hard to reconcile with the standard idea that X2127 + 11 is screened from direct view by an accretion disk.
