摘要: We report the detection of a nonthermal hard X-ray component from Sco X-1 based on analysis 20-220 keV spectra obtained with High-Energy X-Ray Timing Experiment board Rossi Explorer satellite. find that addition power-law to thermal bremsstrahlung model is required achieve good fit in five 16 observations analyzed. Using Proportional Counter Array data, we were able track movement source along Z diagram, and found presence tail not confined specific position. However, do observe an indication index hardens increasing , as indicated position diagram. derived luminosities are ~10% for brightest atoll sources.
