Description
Precise (20 to 40 in.) celestial positions of 10 galactic x-ray sources in the region 550 < lsup(II) < 3200 are reported. These positions were measured with the rotating modulation collimator detectors on the SAS-3 X-ray observatory. The data were taken as part of a systematic survey of the galactic plane. Five positions reaffirm the identification of optical counterparts for 4U0614+09, 2S0053+604, 4U1145-61, GX301-2, and GX304-1. Positions for the latter four sources and for 4UO142+61 are refinements of previously reported SAS-3 positions. The position for 2S0114+650 has led to the discovery of an optical counterpart. Positions for 4U0142+61, 4U0919-54, A1239-59, and 4U1254-69 are also presented. The optical counterparts of these sources are still to be discovered. The source 2S0114+650 was discovered as part of this work. (author)
