Extended Data Fig. 3: Comparison between Type-I X-ray bursts and micronovae.

From: Localized thermonuclear bursts from accreting magnetic white dwarfs

Extended Data Fig. 3

a. TESS lightcurve of one of the rapid bursts observed in TV Col. b. TESS lightcurve of the rapid burst observed in ASASSN-19bh. c. EXOSAT-ME X-ray lightcurve of 4U 1636-536 of one of the Type-I X-ray bursts. Note the similar multi-peak structure in both TV Col and 4U 1636-536. d. RXTE-PCA X-ray lightcurve of one rapid burst in SAX J1808.4-3658. Note the precursor present in both ASASSN-19bh and SAX J1808.4-3658. In all panels the time axis has been arbitrarily shifted.
