Table 2:

The three type-I X-ray bursts parameters.
Burst A B C
$\tau_{\rm lc}$ (s)a $11.2 \pm 0.8$ $12.5 \pm 0.8$ $14.3 \pm 0.9$
$F_{\rm peak}$ (10-8 erg cm-2 s-1)b $3.0 \pm 0.6$ $2.4 \pm 0.5$ $3.1 \pm 0.3$
fb (10-7 erg cm-2)c $2.7 \pm 0.2$ $2.8 \pm 0.2$ $4.8 \pm 0.3$
$F_{\rm pers}$ (10-9 erg cm-2 s-1)d $3.1 \pm 0.4$ $3.5 \pm 0.3$ $0.95 \pm 0.09$
$\gamma \equiv F_{\rm pers}/F_{\rm peak}$ (10-2) $10 \pm 3$ $14 \pm 4$ $3.1 \pm 0.6$
$\tau$ (s) $\equiv f_b / F_{\rm peak} $ $9 \pm 3$ $12 \pm 3$ $16 \pm 3$

a: burst e-folding decay time. The $\chi^2_{\rm red}$/d.o.f. of the fits are 1.4/98, 1.2/86, and 1.3/29, respectively, for the burst A, B, and C; b: net unabsorbed peak flux; c: net unabsorbed burst fluence; and d: Unabsorbed persistent flux (all given in 0.1-100 keV).
