Epstein, A. ; Delvaille, J. ; Helmken, H. ; Murray, S. ; Schnopper, H. W. ; Doxsey, R. ; Primini, F. Abstract X-rays in the 2-11-keV band were detected from LMC X-4 using the rotating modulation collimator system on SAS-3. The derived X-ray luminosity of LMC X-4 is of the order of 10 to the 38th power ergs/s. A transition to a high-intensity state which lasted about 40 minutes was detected during which short-time-scale flares (about 20 s) were observed. The temporal and spectral behavior of LMC X-4 is found to be similar to that of several X-ray binaries. A derived 90% error circle with a radius of 1 arcmin is also presented.
