The 1998 outburst of the X-ray transient XTE J2012+381 as observed with BeppoSAX

S. Campana, L. Stella, T. Belloni +5

We report on the results of a series of X-ray observations of the transient black hole candidate XTE J2012+381 during the 1998 outburst performed with the BeppoSAX satellite. The o…
