Abstract
Shklovsky has suggested that the Scorpius X-ray source is a binary pair and that the X-radiation arises from the collision of material from a giant star with a neutron star. The theoretical complications of such a model are now found not to match actual measurements and it is suggested that the bremsstrahlung effect occurs between a giant star and a white dwarf.
