Observations of X-ray sources in the Large Magellanic Cloud by the OSO-7 satellite.
Abstract
Observations of the Large Magellanic Cloud with the 1-40 keV X-ray detectors on the OSO-7 satellite are reported. Results include the discovery of a previously unreported source LMC X-5, measurements of the spectral characteristics of four sources, and observations of their variability on time scales of months.
