Observations of SN 1987A from Ginga.
Abstract
Observations of SN 1987A made from the X-ray astronomy satellite, Ginga, are reviewed. The discovery of a hard source near SN 1987A and corrections for the nearby sources such as LMC X-1 are discussed. The results concerning the X-ray light curve and energy spectra of the supernova are discussed. Consideration is given to the origin and evolution of the soft and hard components.
