Cyg X-2: An accreting neutron star
Description
HAKUCHO observation of Cyg X-2 over 40 days did not show a correlation between the hardness ratio and the intensity predicted for dwarf X-ray sources. The energy spectrum in the range 0.3 - 20 keV was found to deviate from the thermal bremsstrahlung spectrum below 2 keV. The X-ray spectrum can be accounted for in terms of the Comptonization of blackbody radiation emitted from the neutron star surface and the accretion disk. 10 references
