Results from ROSAT.
Abstract
Since the launch of the Einstein Observatory in 1978 imaging X-ray telescopes have lead to completely new observational possibilities. They not only allow to obtain images with high angular resolution, but also provide an increase of point source sensitivities by orders of magnitudes, compared with collimated counter experiments. ROSAT is the third of these satellite borne cosmic X-ray telescopes after the Einstein Observatory and EXOSAT. It is a German-US-UK collaboration.
