Scientific paper

The pulsing X-ray source 4U 1626-67 was observed with the Monitor Proportional Counter (MPC) on board the Einstein X-Ray Observatory on three occasions in early 1979. The MPC is a sealed, argon-filled proportional counter with a 1.5 mil beryllium window and is coaligned with the X-ray telescope on board the observatory. The spectral data spanning the energy range from 1.1 to 21 keV are divided into eight logarithmically spaced energy channels which integrate for 2.56 s. The Time Interval Processor (TIP) circuitry of the MPC measures time intervals between events to within 1 microsecond or 1.6%, whichever is larger, for a count rate dependent fraction of all events in all eight energy channels. It is found that in the energy range from 1 to 21 keV, the spectrum and 7.7 s pulse shape of 4U 1626-67 are variable on a time scale of minutes. The pulse shape variations correlate in a complex way with the intensity variations in this source.
