During this period 4U 1722-30 shows a general persistent emission along with several bright outbursts resembling those of transient X-ray sources/X-ray novae. However the source never switches into a real quiescent state, with very weak or undetectable flux level, as it normally occurs in transient sources. We compare here flux ratios and spectral state variations measured during the different outbursts and highlight the peculiar character of the 2008 outburst, for which we also propose a specific physical explanation.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2013-03-14T15:31:48.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "neutron star low mass x-ray", "star low mass x-ray binaries", "high energy characteristics" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 6, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 1223831, "adsabs": "2013arXiv1303.3479T" } } }
