X-ray properties of the galactic bulge sources
Abstract
Results are presented on observations by HAKUCHO and TENMA satellites on the galactic bulge X-ray sources. Most of the sources observed showed a positive correlation between intensity and spectral hardness. GX5-1 has been found to have two characteristic states. Quasi-periodic pulsations with 106 to 205 seconds have been observed from GX 349+2. Observational results are interpreted in terms of mass accretion onto an unmagnetized neutron star.
