Observations of the transient X-ray source 4U0115+63
Abstract
Results of HEAO-2 pointed observations and Ariel 5 All Sky Monitor observations of the X-ray transient 4U0115+63 are presented. The transient source pulses with a period of 3.6136 s + or - .0004 s, has a hard spectrum typical of an X-ray binary pulsar, and has a broad iron line emission feature. A discussion of the transient behavior is given and inferences are made concerning the nature of the X-ray source based on the pointed data.
