Search for X-ray emission from Nova Cygni 1975
Abstract
WE have used the SAS-3 X-ray observatory to search for X rays from Nova Cygni 1975 before, during and after the time of optical maximum (1975 August 30-31). No X rays were detected at any time over the spectral range 0.1-50 keV, and from these negative results we can place very low upper limits on the ratio of X-ray to optical luminosity.
