“…LRL group carried out the first simultaneous optical and X-ray observation of Sco X-1 and obtained the first evidence for a positive correlation between X-ray and optical flux from Sco X-1 (Chodil et al, 1968;Mark et al, 1969;Burginyon et al, 1970). Kitamura et al (1971) also performed the simultaneous observation at optical and X-ray wave lengths and compiled relationships between the hardness of the X-ray spectrum and the X-ray intensity, and between the X-ray and the optical luminosity.…”
Abstract. The physical properties of X-ray, optical and radio emissions from Sco X-1 are reviewed. Sco X-I is a typical X-ray source which has an optically thick hot plasma. The observational spectra of X-ray and optical emissions are consistent with theoretical ones from the hot plasma, but the radio emission shows a non-thermal feature. The restrictive conditions for the model of Sco X-1 are discussed from the observational facts. In spite ot numerous observational facts on Sco X-1 further detailed and elaborate studies are necessary to understand this object and general compact X-ray sources comprehensively.Contents:

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
