Abstract

We present locations of the weak, high galactic latitude X-ray sources 2A0526-328, 2A1052+606, and 4U1249-28 as measured with the scanning modulation collimator on HEAO 1. These have been identified with a blue emission line star, a late type star with H..cap alpha.. emission, and the dwarf nova EX Hydrae, respectively. The latter two are only the second examples of hard (2--10 keV) X-ray emission from (possibly) an RS CVn system and from a U Gem type dwarf nova. We have taken several spectra of the first two objects, and discovered night-to-night variability of their emission lines. We conclude that galactic stars must be considered as likely candidates for unidentified X-ray sources at any galactic latitude.
