X-ray properties of the Be/X-ray systems 2S0114+650 LSI+65 deg 010

Results are presented from experiments on the Einstein Observatory, HEAO-1 and OSO-8 on the temporal and spectral properties of 2S0114+650. In a 12 hour Einstein MPC and SSS observation two episodes of flaring occurred by an order of magnitude over about 1 hour. Variability on shorter time scales showed a preferred period of 14.9 minutes, but periodic pulsations were not seen in the HEAO-1 and OSO-8 data. There is some evidence that the spectrum is steeper when the source is quiescent at low luminosity, but no large spectral changes attended the flares. Absorption column densities were consistent with interstellar reddening of the proposed companion, the Be star LSI+65 deg 010. In the minute and hour variability and in the spectral character, 2S0114+650 is similar to other Be star-neutron star binary X-ray sources. Variations over several days in the OSO-8 data suggest orbital effects
