The 1989 May outburst of the soft X-ray transient GS 2023+338 (V404 cyg).
ZYCKI P.T., DONE C. and SMITH D.A.
Abstract (from CDS):
We describe the spectrum obtained at the maximum of flux and we demonstrate that it is very different from spectra of other soft X-ray transients at similar luminosity. We confirm previous suggestions that the dramatic variability was the result of heavy and strongly variable photoelectric absorption. We also demonstrate that for a short time the spectrum of the source did look like a typical soft/high state spectrum but that this coincided with very heavy absorption.
