High-resolution observations of X-ray sources at the galactic center.
Abstract
A region about 1 deg of arc in radius and centered on the galactic nucleus has been surveyed during a rocket flight, using X-ray detectors equipped with 10-arcmin by 4-deg (FWHM) collimators. The extended source 4U 1743-29 has been resolved into at least four discrete sources having luminosities (2-10 KeV) between 4 by 10 to the 36th power and 3.5 by 10 to the 37th power erg/s.
