Scientific paper

It has so far proved empirically quite successful to describe the entire continuum electromagnetic spectrum of Sco X-1 in terms of emission from an isothermal plasma at a temperature of about 50 million K. The need to consider multiple Compton scatterings in the calculation of the emergent spectrum is emphasized, noting that this process produces important modifications in the spectral shape at X-ray and ultraviolet wavelengths. It is thought that the lack of variability in the data discussed may be evidence of the effects of Comptonization
