Abstract
Description
We report BeppoSAX NFI observations of the X-ray source SAX~J1747.0--2853 recently discovered in the region of the Galactic Center. The presence of type I X-ray bursts indicates that this source, positionally coincident with the transient GX~0.2--0.2 observed in 1976, is a neutron star accreting from a low mass companion.
