Discovery of Thermonuclear (Type 1) X-ray Bursts in the X-ray Binary Swift J1858.6-0814 Observed with NICER and NuSTAR

Swift J1858.6–0814 is a recently discovered X-ray binary notable for extremely strong variability (by factors of >100 in soft X-rays) in its discovery state. We present the detection of five thermonuclear (Type I) X-ray bursts from Swift J1858.6–0814, implying that the compact object in the syste...
