X-Ray Nova 1993 in Ophiuchus
Abstract
K. Borozdin, N. Alexandrovich, and R. Sunyaev, Space Research Institute, Moscow, on behalf of the MIR-Kvant team, report: "This object (GRS 1716-249 = GRO J1719-24) continues to be bright according to observations made on Feb. 16 with the TTM instrument onboard MIR-Kvant. The flux from the source in the energy band 2-27 keV was equal to 275 +/- 20 mCrab, which is the highest value detected by the TTM from this source since the main outburst in Sept. 1993 (IAUC 5878). The spectrum can be approximated by a power law with index 2.1 +/- 0.3."
