High energy X-ray results from HEAO-1: X-ray pulsars, and the all sky survey
Abstract
Results of the sky survey performed with the high energy X-ray detectors of the A-4 experiment onboard the HEAO 1 spacecraft are presented. The data presented cover the energy range from 13 to 80 keV. Strong sources are identified by visual inspection and azimuthal superpositions are performed in order to find weak sources. Time variability is also examined. Results of studies of X-ray pulsars are given including a brief description of an X-ray pulsar in terms of current theory.
