Soft X-ray emissions from the high galactic latitude X-ray source MX 2140-60
- 1. Tata Inst. of Fundamental Research, Bombay (India)
Description
Soft X-rays (0.2-1.0 keV) have been detected from the high galactic latitude source MX 2140-60 in a rocket experiment. The measured flux of approx. 10-10 erg cm-2s-1 combined with OSO-7 measurements in 2-40 keV X-rays, are best fit by a power law photon spectrum with spectral index 2.3 and a neutral hydrogen column density Nsub(H) = (3-7)1020 atoms cm-2. The observations support the source identification with the cluster of galaxies SC 2146-594, as suggested by Lugger. (orig.)
