Abstract: | Soft X-ray emission from the X-ray source Per X-1 was observed in the 0.4–2 keV energy interval from a rocket borne X-ray detector. Spectral analysis of the data indicates that in the 0.4–2 keV band the X-ray emission from Per X-1 can be fitted either with a power law of slope-(4.8±1.2) or a thermal bremsstrahlung spectrum with akT value of (0.26 ?0.08 +0.12 ) keV. Such a steep spectrum is inconsistent with the spectrum measured above 2 keV. The measured flux in 0.4–2 keV band corresponds to X-ray luminosity of 3×1045 ergs s?1 for Per X-1. |
