X-ray emission from the supernova remnant G287. 8-0. 5

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7292086
; ; ; ;
The GSFC Cosmic x-ray spectroscopy experiment on OSO-8 observed a weak galactic x-ray source near theta 2 at 288 deg, b2 at -1 deg. The spectrum for this source between 2--20 keV is well represented by a thermal spectrum of kT = 7.34/sup +3.6//sub -2.6/ keV with an intense iron emission line centered at 6.5 +- .2 keV. The error box of the Uhuru source 4U1043-59, the only known x-ray source in the field of view, contains the radio supernova remnant G287.8-0.5. The possible association of the x-ray source with this supernova remnant is discussed. (auth)
