Abstract

SAX J1747.0-2853 is an X-ray transient which exhibited several outbursts between 1998 and 2001 and most probably in 1976. The outburst of 2000 was the longest and brightest. We have analyzed X-ray data sets that focus on times around the 2000 outburst and were obtained with l BeppoSAX, XMM-Newton and l RXTE.
