X-ray bursts as a probe of the corona: the case of XRB 4U 1636โˆ’536

To investigate the possible cooling of the corona by soft X-rays bursts, we have studied 114 bursts embedded in the known X-ray evolution of 4U 1636-536. We have grouped these bursts according to the ratio of the flux in the 1.5--12 keV band with respect to that in the 15--50 โ€ฆ
