X-Ray Pulses from Centaurus X-3

Description
X-Ray Pulses from Centaurus X-3
This graph shows the intensity of X rays detected by Uhuru as Centaurus X-3
moved across the satellite’s field of view. The variation in the height of the
pulses was a result of the changing orientation of Uhuru’s X-ray detectors
toward the source as the satellite rotated. The short pulse period suggests
that the source is a rotating neutron star.
