X-Ray Pulsar
Abstract
F. Makino and the Ginga Team, Institute of Space and Astronautical Science, Tokyo, report that the x-ray outburst near the position of Cep X-4 (IAUC 4575) is due to an x-ray pulsar with a pulsation period of 66.25 s. The source shows erratic short-term variations superposed on the regular pulsations. The object is similar to the transient pulsar X0332+52. The averaged intensity was still about 100 mCrab as of Apr. 4.
