Notes. Burst ID corresponds to the burst number in the Galloway et al. (2008) burst catalog, Obs ID to the identification number of the RXTE observation in which the burst can be found, Start time to the RXTE time of the burst peak used to define the date t = 0 in Sect. 2, L_peak to the peak luminosity, E_tot to the total energy, τ to the decay time constant, C_pers to the raw persistent count rate before the burst, and C_peak to its value at burst peak. E_tot for 4U 1636-536 and 4U 1608-522, respectively (Pandel et al. 2008; Nakamura et al. 1989).

Values taken from Galloway et al. (2008). Distances of 6 and 3.6 kpc were taken to compute the peak luminosity L_peak and total energy
