The Search for Cen X-3
Abstract
Cen X-3 was first discovered by Chodil et al. Since then, observations using the UHURU satellite have shown it to be an X-ray pulsar, and it must now have become one of the most searched for objects in the sky. It is both an X-ray pulsar (P 4.8 secs) and an X-ray eclipsing binary (P 2.08712 days).
