Abstract

WE report here final results of the analysis, of data obtained in a balloon flight, launched from Gap (France) in June 1970. The aim of this experiment was the observation of the energy spectrum of the pulsed X-ray emission from NP 0532 in the range 20–200 keV. Results of a preliminary analysis, in which the pulse profile for the integral emission was obtained, have been published already1. The measurement apparatus, basically consisting of two identical NaI (T1) detectors, as well as the general technique of analysis were also reported in the previous letter1.
