Scientific paper

The observations of the supernova 1987A by the High Energy X-ray Experiment (HEXE) on board the Mir-Kvant module are discussed. A total observation time of 530000s was spent on that target, and data are available from day 144 to 843 after the outburst. Four detectors and an improved background subtraction method were used and a final energy calibration was established. A hard X-ray flux from SN 1987A already on day 144 was discovered. X-ray light curves are presented in three energy bands, extending the time coverage to June 1989. The new results confirm the results published earlier.
