Hard X-ray measurements of nova A0535+26 in Taurus

MEASUREMENTS of high energy X rays in the region of the Crab Nebula were made with the Imperial College detector on Ariel V between April 13 and April 29, 1975. During that time the X-ray nova A0535+26 was first detected and observed to rise to its maximum intensity 1,2 . At 30 keV this nova reached...

Description
Summary:MEASUREMENTS of high energy X rays in the region of the Crab Nebula were made with the Imperial College detector on Ariel V between April 13 and April 29, 1975. During that time the X-ray nova A0535+26 was first detected and observed to rise to its maximum intensity 1,2 . At 30 keV this nova reached an intensity considerably brighter than the Crab Nebula, making it the brightest known source in the sky.
