Scientific paper

Soft X-rays (0.2-1.0 keV) have been detected from the high galactic latitude source MX 2140-60 in a rocket experiment. The measured flux of about 10 to the 10th erg/sq cm s combined with OSO-7 measurements in 2-40 keV X-rays, are best fit by a power law photon spectrum with spectral index 2.3 and a neutral hydrogen column density of (3-7) x 10 to the 20th atoms/sq cm. The observations support the source identification with the cluster of galaxies SC 2146-594, as suggested by Lugger (1978).
