Description:
Ten fast X-ray transient sources were discovered in the first complete pass of the sky by the HEAO A-1 Sky Survey Experiment, including 7 relatively faint sources and 3 bright ones. The survey technique and each of the transients are described. Four of the transients are identified with active coronal sources; the remaining ones are unidentified. The statistical properties of the total sample of 10 sources are discussed, including event rates, distribution on the sky, and the number-flux distribution.
