UHURU results on galactic x-ray sources

From symposium X-and gamma-ray astronomy; Madrid, Spain (11 May 1972). See CONF-720599-. Galactic x-ray sources studied by Uhuru can be claasified into several categories, including supernova remnants, transient or nova-like sources, Sco X-1 like sources, and pulsating sources. The latter are discussed in some detail with particular emphasis upon the characteristics of the periodic binary x- ray sources, Cen X-3 and Her X-1. It is suggested that all galactic x-ray sources (except S/N remnants) may be binary systems. (auth)
