A soft X-ray survey of the Scutum-Serpens-Aquila region

Data from a 1973 June 23 rocket flight are presented and discussed. Soft X-ray spectra of the sources GX 17+2 and Ser X-1 together with the best-fit model spectra are given. We derive a location of Ser X-1 which confirms that listed in the 3U catalog. Upper limits are set to the X-ray flux from eigh...

Zusammenfassung:	Data from a 1973 June 23 rocket flight are presented and discussed. Soft X-ray spectra of the sources GX 17+2 and Ser X-1 together with the best-fit model spectra are given. We derive a location of Ser X-1 which confirms that listed in the 3U catalog. Upper limits are set to the X-ray flux from eight supernova remnants, and upper limits to their X-ray luminosity are calculated. Spatial structure in the diffuse soft X-ray background was observed. A map of the diffuse background in this region is derived. (AIP)
