X-ray Sources in the Aquila-Serpens-Scutum Region

Abstract
The Ariel-5 sky survey detectors have been used to study X-ray sources within 10° of the galactic plane between longitudes l″ = 20° and l″ = 55°. Seventeen sources have been found and locations and strengths derived. These are compared with results of previous surveys. Seven of these sources were already known and this observation yields an improved position for four of them. Ten of the sources are new. One is possibly associated with the globular cluster NGC 6712, and one with the supernova remnant, W50.
