Notes. Reported statistical errors with 68% confidence level. The first column reports the source name for which the fit was performed. The second column reports the value C of the obtained minimum for the cash estimator. rburst is the burst rate in y−1, mlog(τ) is the mean of the Gaussian distribution for log(τburst), with τburst in y. The standard deviation of the distribution of log(τburst) is held fixed at the value obtained fitting the multi-loghat function to the accumulated distribution of waiting times (σlog(τ) = 0.36). To keep at a minimum the contribution of the short waiting time component, the fit is performed on the reduced sample with Δt >  0.3 d.
