Abstract: The results of an Exosat observation of the 'Rapid Burster' in August 1985 during an active state are presented. Forty 1-10 minute long type 2 bursts were detected together with constant emission. Quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) were observed in 23 bursts with frequencies in the range of 2-5 Hz. Obscuration of the central X-ray source by an oscillating accretion disk rim is suggested as a possible scenario for the generation of the QPO from the Rapid Burster.
