At approximately 10:04:19 UTC on 7 February 2007 (MJD 54138.42), the Anomalous X-ray Pulsar 4U 0142+61 exhibited a large fast-rise X-ray burst, followed by a lengthy tail, during routine RXTE/PCA monitoring observations. On a 31-ms time scale, the count rate at the burst peak was approximately 3600 counts/s for 2 operational PCUs, in the 2-60 keV range, which corresponds roughly to a peak flux of ~4x10^-8 erg/s/cm^2.
