Collapsed Objects and Galactic X-Ray Sources

  • B. A. Peterson (a1)
Extract

The observation of the X-ray sky from balloons, rockets, and satellites has led to the discovery of more than 100 X-ray sources. Optical and radio identifications have been made for about a dozen of these. A few X-ray sources are of extra-galactic origin, but the majority are objects in the Galaxy.
