Ginga observations of Cygnus X-2
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the spectral and fast timing behavior of the low-mass X-ray binary Cygnus X-2 obtained with Ginga and found that the burst properties indicate that they are not regular type I bursts.

New Galactic Center X-ray Transient Detected by Swift : SWIFT J174540.7-290015
TL;DR: Degenaar et al. as discussed by the authors detected a new X-ray source in a ~ 1ks observation on MJD 57424.87742 (t_start: 160206 @21:02UT), at a position of RA (J2000): 17 45 40.74 (266.41974) Dec (J 2000): -29 00 14.7 (-29.00407) 90% Error radius: 2.2''

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported the detection of nine X-ray bursts in RXTE-PCA data, 25 years after the first -and the only previous- detection of Xray bursts from this source (Tennant et al. 1986, MNRAS, 219, 871).

Improved position of the new X-ray transient XTE J1637-498
TL;DR: In this article, the Swift/XRT was used to detect a relatively bright source within the 6 arcminutes PCA error circle at a position of RA=16:37:02.995, Dec=-49:51:37 (J2000), with an estimated uncertainty of 3.8 arcseconds radius (90% confidence).
