Description
The paper reports partially simultaneous observations of the 'rapid
burster' (MXB 1730-335) at X-ray, infrared, and radio wavelengths,
covering several hundred hours during 1979 and 1980. None of the authors
of this report saw any infrared or radio bursts. On several occasions an
absence of infrared bursting was observed during X-ray bursting. On one
occasion an absence of X-ray bursting was observed during a radio burst
(4.1 GHz) reported by Calla et al. (1979). To date, radio bursts (a
total of at least a dozen) have been reported only by Calla et al.
(1980). Considering these and other observations summarized here, the
reported radio bursts are either unreal or do not bear a simple relation
to the X-ray bursts from the 'rapid burster'. The status of the reported
infrared bursts also remain ambiguous. Limits to the brightness of any
persistent radio source at the position of MXB 1730-335, limits to
persistent X-ray emission during an extended X-ray quiet phase, and a
measurement of the infrared polarization in the direction of the X-ray
source are also reported.
