Scientific paper

The X-ray source Sco X-1 was observed from an instrument platform on board a stratospheric balloon; in the energy range of 0.2 to 5.0 MeV, a photon count deviation amounting to three standard deviations from the normal was noted. A power-law spectrum provided an adequate representation of the data. The observed spectrum of Sco X-1 may give evidence for a bremsstrahlung effect due to a superheated plasma. The data are discussed in the framework of the gamma-burst model of Ramaty and Cohen (1973).
