Scientific paper

THE discovery of galactic X-rays by Giacconi et al.1, confirmed by Friedman et al.2, which was quite unexpected from our present understanding of physical processes in astronomical objects, has induced a variety of theoretical investigations3. Among various mechanisms so far proposed to explain the X-ray sources, the neutron-star hypothesis suggested by several authors4 seems to present a reasonable combination of the radiative power, the distance, the life and the frequency of occurrence of the X-ray sources although the existence of neutron stars is still open to question.
