ASCA Galactic Plane and Galactic Center Region Survey
Abstract
This paper presents the results of Galactic plane and Galactic center region survey observations with the X-ray satellite ASCA, aimed at the systematic study of Galactic X-ray sources and diffuse emission. More than 200 sources were found and about 60% of the resolved sources were unidentified. A large number of the unidentified sources have hard X-ray spectra obscured by the interstellar medium. The diffuse emission extended along the Galactic plane was also studied.
