Extract

During a recent balloon flight from Mildura, Australia, the region of the Galaxy between −10° < lII < +20°; −5° < bII< +5° was surveyed for high-energy X-rays of photon energy > 17 keV (λ < 0.7 Å) using an active collimation scintillation detector described elsewhere. The narrow opening angle of the telescope enables two sources to be resolved in this region of the sky. The position of one of these sources agrees well with the source GX3+1 observed at rocket wavelength by Bradt et al. while the other source is probably the same as that observed by Gursky et al. and designated GX−5.6. We present herein improved positional information for this latter source which hereafter will be designated GX354−5.
