We present a detailed study of the correlations between the burst propertiesand the inferred mass accretion rate for the X-ray transient MXB 1659-298. Thebursts which exhibited oscillations were observed when the source was atrelatively high mass accretion rate, similar to what has been seen for othersources. However, due to the limited number of observations at lower massaccretion rates, no bursts were observed at such accretion rates and it isstill possible that when MXB 1659-298 accretes at such low mass accretionrates, bursts can occur which might still exhibit burst oscillations. No clearcorrelations were found between the different burst properties and accretionrate, in contrast to what has been found for KS 1731-260 and 4U 1728-34, butsimilar to what has been reported for Aql X-1. However, this lack ofcorrelation for MXB 1659-298 and Aql X-1 might be due to the limited range ofmass accretion rate observed for those sources compared to KS 1731-260 and 4U1728-34.Comment: Accepted for publication in ApJ, 18 October 200
