Pulsed X-ray Emission of NP 0532 in March 1968

Nature volume 223, pages 280–281 (1969)Cite this article

Abstract

WE report a measurement of the pulsed X-ray emission associated with the pulsar NP 0532 in the Crab Nebula. This information was obtained with a six element detector flown on an Aerobee 150 rocket from White Sands N. M., launched on March 16, 1968, at 0315 UT. Our results on the overall 2–20 keV spectrum from the Crab Nebula and the diffuse X-ray background, as well as a payload description, have been published elsewhere1.
