Abstract

A compact X-ray source near the North Galactic Pole has been detected with the low-energy X-ray telescope aboard the SAS-3 satellite. The spectral temperature of the source is less than 1 million K, and the energy flux at the earth is 3 by 10 to the -10th power erg/sq cm/sec above 0.1 keV. The flux appeared to be constant both on short time scales (10-1000 s), and over the interval from the first SAS-3 observation (June 12, 1975) to the latest (July 15, 1975). The possible identification of this source with the hot white dwarf HZ 43 is discussed.
