Compact galactic X-ray sources; Proceedings of the Workshop, Washington, D.C., April 20, 21, 1979The current status and future prospects regarding the study of compact galactic X-ray sources are reviewed; key questions addressable by X-ray observations are outlined, and various proposed types of missions are evaluated in terms of their ability to address these questions. Subjects discussed include degenerate dwarfs and cataclysmic variables, bursters, neutron stars, black holes, and erratic variables, transients, and patrol programs. Specific topics include future X-ray observations of magnetic binaries, the thermonuclear-flash model for X-ray burst sources, neutron star X-ray sources, prospects for experimental research on black holes in binary systems, and compact X-ray source observations after Explorer with the LAMAR.
