摘要
We discovered strong 13 s pulsations in the X-ray Aux of HD49798 (Israel et al. 1995), a 1.55 d single-component spectroscopic binary containing a hydrogen depleted subdwarf O6 star. The source X-ray spectrum is extremely soft, corresponding to an unabsorbed 0.1-2 keV luminosity of a few x 10(32) erg s(-1) (distance of 650 pc). A higher luminosity might be hidden in the EUV. Our results imply that the unseen companion is an accreting degenerate star, either a white dwarf or a neutron star. In either case HD49798 corresponds to a previously unobserved evolutionary stage of a massive binary system, after common envelope and spiral-in. (C) 1998 COSPAR. Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.
