Locating and Determining the Nature of a Persistent Hard X-Ray Source GROJ1814-12

The nature of the persistent hard X-ray source GROJ1814-12 discovered by BATSE a year ago is puzzling. Several potential X-ray sources are in the approximately 25 ft radius error box. Our XTE scanning observation attempted to determine the exact position of the hard X-ray source with respect with other sources. No obvious candidate is emerging from the analysis. A report is being prepared by the observing group. The persistent hard X-ray source GROJ1814-12 might be an example of a low-mass X-ray binary producing a strong flux of hard X-rays, and therefore be of the greatest importance for the theory of neutron star emission.

Investigation Into The Effects of Microsecond Power Line Transients On Line-Connected Capacitors

An investigation was conducted into the effect of power-line transients on capacitors used by NASA and installed on platform primary power inputs to avionics. The purpose was to investigate whether capacitor voltage rating needs to be derated for expected spike potentials. Concerns had been voiced in the past by NASA suppliers that MIL-STD-461 CS06-like requirements were overly harsh and led to physically large capacitors. The author had previously predicted that electrical-switching spike requirements representative of actual power-line transient potentials, durations and source impedance would require no derating. This investigation bore out that prediction. It was further determined that traditional low source impedance CS06-like transients also will not damage a capacitor, although the spikes themselves are not nearly as well filtered. This report should be used to allay fears that CS06-like requirements drive capacitor voltage derating. Only that derating required by the relatively long duration transients in power quality specification need concern the equipment designer.
