Description

X-ray observation results of Tau X-1 on board of the ''Astron'' automatical space station in 1983 and 1984 are presented. The emission spectrum is fitted by a power law with the photon index of -2.12±0.02. The pulsar contribution to the total flux from Tau X-1 is 8.4±0.8% in the range from 2 to 25 keV. The X-ray periods measured and the first period derivative of the pulsar NP 0532 are given
