D. ; Burginyon, G. A. ; Grader, R. J. ; Hill, R. W. ; Palmieri, T. M. ; Stoering, J. P. Abstract A new rocket observation of the Vela region confirms that Vel X and Pup A are strong sources of soft X-rays. X-rays from Vel X come from a broad region of sky with a diameter of 5 . This region is centered neither on the Vel X radio source nor on the pulsar. Optical filaments lie along one edge of the X-ray emitting region. X-ray spectra are derived for Vel X and Pup A. Neither source was detectable above 2 keV. Publication: The Astrophysical Journal Pub Date: November 1971 DOI: 10.1086/151168 Bibcode: 1971ApJ...169..515S full text sources ADS |
