Scientific paper

The Goddard Space Flight Center Cosmic X-Ray Experiment aboard OSO-8 viewed the X-ray binary pulsar, Vela X-1, on three occasions from late 1975 through late 1976. The X-ray spectrum is well represented by a power law modified by photoelectric absorption, a high energy cutoff, and a line feature at approximately 6.8 keV. When combined with other observations, our measurements show that the pulse period is not decreasing monotonically. The three eclipses observed all indicate a significant eclipse flux.
