Session 104 - Accretion-Powered X-Ray Sources.
Display session, Thursday, January 18
North Banquet Hall, Convention Center
We present correlated optical spectrophotometry and 7-14 keV X-ray data for the low-mass X-ray binary Sco X-1. Two hundred and seventy optical spectra were obtained over a two week period during May 1994. We compare the behavior of the optical continuum level to the X-ray flux through several cycles of activity exhibited by Sco X-1. We note the correlation between the ionization states and the level of X-ray emission. We examine how these data impact current models that explain the behavior of Sco X-1.
