X-ray observations with the Astronomical Netherlands Satellite ANS
Abstract
Data obtained by the Astronomical Netherlands Satellite are reported and discussed. The satellite carries a soft X-ray telescope (0.2-0.28 keV), a medium X-ray proportional counter (0.4-7 keV), a hard X-ray proportional counter (1.4-30 keV), and an ultraviolet spectrophotometer in 5 bands of approximately 100 A between 1500-3300 A. Topics discussed include star coronas, dwarf novas, flare stars, and compact stars (in particular Cyg X-1).
