BATSE observations of the massive X‐ray binary 4U1700− 37/HD153919


Abstract:

The Earth occultation technique has been used to monitor the massive x‐ray binary (MXRB) 4U1700−37/HD153919 with BATSE. This source has been important in the study of stellar winds from O‐type stars and of radiation and flaring mechanisms of MXRB. We have detected several large flaring episodes, during which the 20 to 50 keV flux from this binary exceeds the flux from the Crab Nebula in the same energy range.
