Notes. MJD 57 193 is 2015 June 20.
Start (resp. stop) time of a flare is defined as the time 20–40 keV CR reaches 165 cts/s (1 Crab) during the increase (resp. decrease), or by the minimum reached before (resp. after) the increase (decrease) for multiple flares. The uncertainty on the times is ±6 × 10-4 d.
“Multiple” stands for series of well-defined flares occurring in rapid repetition. “Complex" stands for flares showing various peaks. “Plateau” indicates a >1 Crab plateau.
These peaks appear as single peaks in Fig. 1. They are in fact true multiples.
