Ariel 5 hard X-ray studies of the galactic center region.
Abstract
The galactic center region was observed for a total of 18 days spread over three successive years (1975-1977) by the high-energy X-ray experiment on Ariel 5. A strong, hard flux was measured in the 26-560 keV range, some of which is consistent with emission from the galactic nucleus itself.
