An article published in the journal “Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society” describes a research that provides an explanation for an astronomical mystery dating back to the 1970s. A team of researchers of the Anton Pannekoek Institute for Astronomy in Amsterdam led by Jakob van den Eijnden discovered a gap in the accretion disk of the binary system MXB 1730-335, known as Rapid Burster for its rapid and discontinuous X-ray flashes.
