Abstract
AbstractSco X-2 is a bright Galactic bulge Z source, whose optical counterpart was discovered in 1990 [?], and observed to exhibit strong Hα emission. We have therefore obtained spectroscopic data in order to determine the orbital period and investigate the nature of the companion star. From an analysis of the Hα emission line velocities, we find a most likely orbital period of 13.94 d. This implies an evolved companion, and is consistent with the currently known orbital periods in other Z sources.
