Description:
The seventh Orbiting Solar Observatory, OSO-7, carries an X-ray detector for measuring the positions, spectra, and time variations of X-ray sources in the energy range from 1 to 60 keV. The instrument has operated successfully since the launch on 1971 September 29. The purpose of this paper is to describe the instrument and to report a measurement of the spectrum of Tau X-1 based on data covering the widest energy range that has so far been observed in a single experiment.
