Scientific paper

Results are presented for observations of Sco X-1 conducted on two different days with the Filin X-ray spectrometer aboard the Salyut 4 station. On one day, strong emission variability in the energy range from 0.2 to 2 keV was observed which may be interpreted as being due to the appearance of an additional 'soft' source. On the other day, a slow variation in the source's spectral characteristics was detected without any substantial change in the mean flux value. These results are evaluated in terms of a model where Sco X-1 is a neutron star in a binary system.
