Scorpius XR-1: Some X-Ray and Optical Observations (1969 May)

Abstract

X-rays from Sco XR-1 were observed 1969 May 17 and 24. Simultaneous optical observations were carried out at Kitt Peak National Observatory. Data from these two dates are plotted and compared with ten previous rocket observations of Sco XR-1. Optical data were obtained simultaneously during six of these earlier flights. These observations are used to search for a correlation between the varying X-ray and varying optical emission of this object.
