Notes. The outburst duration, tob, is expressed in weeks. F˜ represents the fluence of the outburst in units of erg cm-2 in the 2–10 keV energy band. ⟨ob is the estimated average accretion rate during outburst (M yr-1) assuming a neutron star primary with M = 1.4 M and R = 10 km. The estimated time-averaged mass-accretion rate is given by ⟨long. Note that only AX J1745.6–2901 and GRS 1741–2853 are confirmed neutron star X-ray binaries, the other six sources have an unknown nature.
