Abstract

This is the first of four Letters reporting preliminary results from the first of NASA's small astronomy satellites, Uhuru. The satellite is designed to conduct a survey of the X-ray sky in the 2-2() keV energy range to an ultimate sensitivity of about 5 X 1 the flux of the Crab Nebula. In this first Letter we report on a scan of the galactic plane in which we see twenty-nine discrete sources, of which seven have not been reported previously.
