Observation of super-soft x-ray by the satellite 'Hakucho'

Description

Observation of super-soft X-ray has been made for the purposes to watch X-ray sources, to measure the X-ray spectra and to observe the variation of the sources in course of time. A detector for the present observation is a thin window proportional counter, which was separated to two sections. In other words, two independent counters are combined together. These counters are gas-flow type counters. The energy range of observed X-ray is from 0.1 to 2 KeV. The observation started on Feb. 21, 1979. Analysis of the obtained data is in progress. A burst from the burster 1636-536 and the strong variable X-ray star GX 339-4 were detected. The increase of light of the nova type variable UGem was observed on March 23. (Kato, T.)
