Abstract

Context. AX J1749.1-2733 is an unclassified transient X-ray source discovered during surveys by ASCA in 1993–1999. The transient behaviour and the short and bright flares of the source have led to the idea that it is part of the recently revealed subclass of supergiant fast X-ray transients.
