Abstract

This paper reports the results of x-ray spectrum and location measurements of several cosmic x-ray sources made on 18 May 1967. Rocket-borne proportional counters were used. The x-ray spectra of Sco XR-1, Tau XR-1, and Lup XR-1 were measured, and the location of Vel XR-1, Lup XR-1, and a new source Cen XR-3 were determined. In addition, the x-ray spectrum and location of a variable source, Cen XR-2, were obtained.
