Abstract
The Einstein (HEAO 2) X-ray Observatory, launched in 1978, includes a fully imaging focusing X-ray telescope with an angular resolution of a few arc sec, a field of view of up to one deg, and a sensitivity several hundred times greater than previously available in any X-ray astronomy experiment. A high-resolution imager, an imaging proportional counter, a focal plane crystal spectrometer, and a monitor proportional counter are among the principal instruments on board the Einstein X-ray Observatory. About 20% of the total effective observing time in the first year of the X-ray astronomy experiment has been reserved for guest observers.
