Ten years of vela x-ray observations

The Vela spacecraft, particularly Vela 5B, produced all-sky X-ray data of unprecedented length and completeness. Recent re-analysis has put the data in the form of 10-day skymaps covering a 7-year period, which have led to the discovery or confirmation of a number of long-term periodicities, and have made possible a time-lapse movie of the X-ray sky.
