Abstract (from CDS):

begin{HTML}A class of low-mass X-ray binary sources is known to be both X-ray burst sources and millisecond pulsars at the same time. A new source of this class was discovered by High Energy Transient Explorer 2 (HETE-2) on 2005 June 14 as a source of type-I X-ray bursts, which was named HETE J1900.1-2455. Five X-ray bursts from HETE J1900.1-2455 were observed during the summer of 2005. A time-resolved spectral analysis of these bursts has revealed that their spectra are consistent with the blackbody radiation throughout the bursts. The bursts show an indication of radius expansion. The bolometric flux remained almost constant during the photospheric radius expansion, while blackbody temperature dropped during the same period. Assuming that the flux reached the Eddington limit on a standard 1.4 solar-mass neutron star with a helium atmosphere, we estimate the distance to the source to be ∼ 4kpc.
