Scientific paper

Two bursts of hard X-rays originating from the same source were detected by the Venera 11 and 12 spacecrafts. An analysis of the data obtained from the spacecrafts clearly indicates that the radiation observed was that of an X-ray pulsar with a period 8.1 + or - 0.1 s. It was noted that the onset of radiation was almost instantaneous with a subsequent fast decay. The standard length of measurements (66 s) was found to be insufficient for this event; however, measurements carried out 6 min after the beginning of the burst revealed that by this time the intensity of radiation had decreased to background level.
