[vsnet-alert 7669] Retraction: Fast X-ray Transient is likely reflected solar flare

Fast X-ray Transient is Likely a Reflected Solar Flare

Smith, D. A. & Remillard, R.

It was pointed out to us that there was a solar flare measured by
GOES, precisely consistant in both start time and duration with the
flare seen in the ASM data.  Given that the moon's position was within
a half-degree of our best-fit position for the transient, we conclude
that this event was most likely a solar flare reflected off the moon,
and not an event outside our solar system.

Thanks to David Smith for pointing out the contemporaneous solar flare.
