ASCA observations of two new X-ray pulsars near SMC X-3

ASCA carried out target of opportunity observations centered on the position of SMC X-3 following the report of a detection of emission from SMC X-3 with RXTE. However, no source was detected at the position of SMC X-3 itself, instead two new pulsars in the SMC were found within the ASCA field of vi...

Description
Summary:ASCA carried out target of opportunity observations centered on the position of SMC X-3 following the report of a detection of emission from SMC X-3 with RXTE. However, no source was detected at the position of SMC X-3 itself, instead two new pulsars in the SMC were found within the ASCA field of view with periods of 46.6 and 91.1 sec.
