Abstract

We present a sample of 1187 thermonuclear (type-I) X-ray bursts from public (archival) observations of 48 low-mass X-ray binaries accreting neutron stars by the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer, spanning 1996 January - 2007 June 3. For each burst, we list results of analysis of data from the Proportional Counter Array, including observed count rates, time-resolved spectroscopy, evolution of the burst lightcurve, and details of the persistent flux and source spectral state at the time of the burst.
