Description
We report on the BeppoSAX/WFC observation of a strong type-I X-ray burst from the recently discovered transient source SAX J1810.8-2609. The observed event showed evidence of photospheric radius expansion due to super-Eddington burst luminosity. Burst detection identifies the source as a probable low-mass X-ray binary harbouring a neutron star.
