Scientific paper

The objective of this research was to study the halo surrounding the ROSAT image of Cen X-3. The halo was formed by the scattering of x rays by interstellar dust grains. An X Ray Halo was observed and that comprised 11.5 percent of the total x rays detected in the central unscattered image. A void at the center of the halo, that was expected to form during eclipse, was not observed. It is likely the void is filled by x rays scattered from cirum-source matter, local to Cen X-3, during eclipse of the x ray source.
