Measurement of x-ray iron line emission from Cygnus X-3 with the OSO 8 crystal spectrometer
- 1. Columbia Univ., New York, NY
Description
X-ray Fe line emission from Cyg X-3 was detected at an energy of 6.52 +- 0.08 keV with the graphite crystal spectrometer on OSO 8. The measured line energy indicates emission from moderately ionized Fe with a line strength of 0.0097 +- 0.0043 photons (cm2 s)-1, corresponding to an equivalent width of 220 +- 100 eV. 2 figures, 2 tables
