Description
Four long X-ray bursts were observed from GX 17 + 2 in 1981 and 1982. Their profiles are characterized by the rise times of about 1.5 s, durations of 3-15 min, burst peak flux values somewhat smaller than the persistent flux values, and spectral softening in the tails. No other bursts were observed from Hakucho pointings on this source in 27d in 1981-1982. The uniqueness of these bursts in comparison with many other bursts is described. (author)
