Cyg X-1, observed on June 22 1996 by the
SAX LECS.
The very bright central
source is Cyg X-1. The two sources at the edge of the image are two
calibration sources. The image is integrated in the whole 0.1-10 keV
energy band. More information about LECS first light is available on
the
ESTEC LECS Web pages.
Cyg X-1, observed on June 22 1996 by the
SAX HPGSPC.
The light curve is accumulated in the whole 5-120 keV
energy band. The saw teeth
profile is produced by the rocking collimators. Note that the on source
light curve shows larger variability than the off source, background
light curve.
Cyg X-1, observed on June 22 1996 by the
SAX PDS. The light curve
shows the counts detected by the phoswitch 0 in the whole 15-300 keV
energy band. The saw teeth
profile is produced by the rocking collimators. Note that the on source
light curve shows larger variability than the off source, background
light curve.
Cyg X-1, observed on June 24 1996 by the
SAX WFC. The field plotted in this
preliminary uncleaned picture covers a region of about
40x40 degrees. Cyg X-1 is the bright
white dot at the center. The two
white dots on the lower right corner are other two sources in the
Cygnus region (the source just to the lower right of the
center is Cyg X-3).
