XRF 020427 was a X-ray flash. It was observed with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) on the 10th of June 2002 in rather poor seeing conditions.[1][2] The afterglow of this XRF resembles the properties of some gamma-ray bursts (GRB). This is probably due to an inefficient shock from XRF 020427.[3] This further strengthens the connection of X-ray burst to GRBs.[4]
