| Abstract: | The paper presents the intensity and spectral nature of the X-ray emission from Sco X-1 in the energy interval 17–106 keV based on the observations made by a balloon borne scintillation telescope system flown on November 15, 1971 from Hyderabad, India. In the 25–53 keV interval, the spectral distribution is observed to correspond to akT value of
keV assuming the shape to be exponential. Over the complete energy range of observation, a power law function with the value of exponent equal to 3.6±0.5 seems to yield an adequate fit. Comparing the present data with those obtained elsewhere, the temporal characteristics of the X-ray emission from Sco X-1 are discussed. |
