Notes. MJD 57 193 is 2015 June 20.

^(a)

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.

^(b)

Count rates at the peaks.

^(c)

“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.

^(d)

These peaks appear as single peaks in Fig. 1. They are in fact true multiples.

^(e)

The 3–13 keV peak time occurred about 200 s before the 20–40 keV one, indicating a potential hard lag.

^(f)

Data gap at the end of the flare. The stop time is the last point before the gap.

^(g)

The 3–13 keV peak time occurred about 200 s after the 20–40 keV one, indicating a potential soft lag.

Current usage metrics show cumulative count of Article Views (full-text article views including HTML views, PDF and ePub downloads, according to the available data) and Abstracts Views on Vision4Press platform.

Data correspond to usage on the plateform after 2015. The current usage metrics is available 48-96 hours after online publication and is updated daily on week days.

Initial download of the metrics may take a while.
