Abstract
A long term study of the optical and X-ray behavior of Sco X-1 is presented.
Optical observations at a time resolution of about 4 seconds were collected at
the CTIO 1M Yale telescope over the course of two years. This database is
compared to simultaneous BATSE SD measurements obtained with a similar time
resolution. The SD measurements were in the approximate energy range of 10-20
keV. Correlated changes in the continuum X-ray emission from Sco X-1 as well
as variations in its emission caused by flaring activity are examined. The time
Sco X-1 spends in various optical at X-ray emission levels is also presented.
