Decametric Radio Identification of an Extragalactic X-Ray Source
Abstract
A radio source with an unusually high spectral index between 22 and 81.5 MHz is identified with the Uhuru X-ray source 2U 1706+78. It is probably associated with the cluster of galaxies Abell 2256. This identification provides further support for the inverse Compton model of X-ray emission by rich clusters of galaxies.
