    Description: Observations made with the Rotation Modulation Collimator system (RMC) have revealed that X-ray source X-4 in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC X-4) is most likely part of a binary system. An analysis of the star's coordinates is presented, with attention given to orbital period and flux intensity variations. Stellar mass and orbital inclination angle are estimated for both X-4 and its companion star.

    Description: The Einstein (HEAO 2) X-ray Observatory, launched in 1978, includes a fully imaging focusing X-ray telescope with an angular resolution of a few arc sec, a field of view of up to one deg, and a sensitivity several hundred times greater than previously available in any X-ray astronomy experiment. A high-resolution imager, an imaging proportional counter, a focal plane crystal spectrometer, and a monitor proportional counter are among the principal instruments on board the Einstein X-ray Observatory. About 20% of the total effective observing time in the first year of the X-ray astronomy experiment has been reserved for guest observers.

    Description: Data on the X-ray structure of the Perseus cluster of galaxies in the energy range from 2 to 10 keV are analyzed which were obtained during a 12-day observation with the rotating modulation collimator aboard SAS 3. In particular, the nature of the compact X-ray source coincident with NGC 1275 is examined. The data are shown to confirm the presence of a diffuse region of X-ray emission surrounding the nucleus of NGC 1275; it is found that a model which also includes a point source at the nucleus is consistent with the data if the point contribution is no larger than 20% of the X-ray flux detected within 3 to 5 arcmin of the galaxy. The results suggest that NGC 1275 may have accreted a large amount of gas from the intracluster medium and that the flux from the possible point source is consistent with a synchro/Compton model.

    Description: X-rays from a region containing the nucleus of the type 1 Seyfert galaxy 3C 120 have been detected using the rotating modulation collimator on board the SAS-3 X-ray observatory. The error circle has a 95% error radius of 1.0 arcmin. The measured X-ray (2-10 keV) flux is 5.4 by 10 to the -11th power erg/s per sq cm. The corresponding luminosity is 2.3 by 10 to the 44th power erg/s for the source at 200 Mpc. Synchrotron-Compton and hot plasma models are discussed.

    Description: The X-ray nova A0620-00 (Nova Monocerotis 1975) has been observed with the SAS-3 satellite. The 1-10 keV intensity was observed to increase by a factor of 2.3 from August 8 to August 11, 1975. It reached and maintained a constant intensity of 1.7 by 10 to the -6 power erg/sq cm/sec from August 11 to August 13. Limits on periodicities of not more than 2 per cent of the power were obtained for periods from 0.2 ms to 435 s. A precise position was obtained with the SAS-3 modulation collimators on August 15. This led directly to optical and radio identifications. Observations with the SAS-3 low-energy concentrator system on August 27 showed an intense 0.4-0.8 keV flux emanating from the nova. A hydrogen column density of 3.5 (plus or minus 0.3) by 10 to the 21st power per sq cm was inferred from these data.

    Description: The complex X-ray and radio structures of the cluster of galaxies Abell 478 have been observed in the 2-11-keV energy band by the rotating modulation collimators on the SAS-3 X-ray observatory and at 1415 MHz by the Westerbork synthesis radio telescope. The X-ray data imply an extended source (X-ray luminosity of the order of 10 to the 45th power erg/s) and are consistent with the presence of a coincident pointlike source X-ray luminosity of the order of 10 to the 45th power erg/s. The X-ray source position is also coincident with a cD radio galaxy at the core of the cluster.

    Description: Limits to the first-order Compton scattering, brightness temperature, and angular size of the compact radio source AO0235+164 were calculated on the basis of a flux density of less than about 1 microJy at 10 to the 18th Hz calculated from observations of the source with the rotating modulation collimator aboard the SAS 3 X-ray observatory. It was found that the maximum brightness temperature at this frequency is less than 2.4 times 10 to the 11th K, corresponding to a minimum angular size of 0.38 msec of arc, assuming the synchrotron self-absorption turnover coefficient is 0.5. On the basis of the distance implied by the largest redshift present, the energy contained in relativistic particles and the magnetic field are calculated, and the ratio of particle to magnetic energy is greater than 10, so the dynamics must be particle dominated. This indicates relativistic expansion if the mean energy per particle is comparable to or greater than the rest of those particles that neutralize the electron plasma.

    Description: The final results of the search for Si XIII and Si XIV line emission, using the ANS Bragg crystal spectrometer, are presented. No positive line detection was achieved in any of the measurements made on several types of cosmic object; i.e., a transient X-ray source, close binary systems, supernova remnants, GX sources, and clusters of galaxies. Three-sigma upper limits for discrete line emission from these objects are reported and compared with line strengths inferred from other proportional-counter and Bragg spectrometer data. The present upper limit of 1.0 eV for the equivalent width of a narrow Si XIV line emission from the X-ray nova A0620-00 is an order of magnitude lower than previous limits set by other experiments.

    Description: X-rays from the compact galaxy III Zw 2 have been detected with the rotating modulation collimator on board SAS 3. The (2-10-keV) flux is (4.3 + or - 0.5) by 10 to the -11th power erg/sq cm per sec, which corresponds to a luminosity of 1.4 by 10 to the 45th power erg/s at 530 Mpc. Subsequent radio observations between 1.46 and 90 GHz were made at the NRAO Very Large Array and 36-foot (11-m) installations. The radio spectrum rises sharply toward higher frequencies and, below about 100 GHz, is indicative of a self-absorbed synchrotron spectrum from an extremely compact, rapidly evolving object.
