Title:[3064] Artist's impression of an X-ray burster
Caption:An artist's impression of a double star in the globular cluster NGC 6624 which is a source of powerful bursts of X-ray emission. It consists of a neutron star, surrounded by a disk of material, partnered by a white dwarf that is shedding material onto the disk across a narrow bridge. The Hubble Space Telescope detected ultraviolet emission from the disk in 1993.
