D. ; Forman, W. R. Giacconi, Griffiths, E. Harnden, R., Jr. Jones, C. Pye, J. P. Two X-ray pictures have been obtained of Car nebula using imaging detectors Einstein Observatory. One covers a field 1-deg square with resolution 1 arcmin; second 25 arcmin in diameter few arcsec. These show region diffuse emission luminosity 10 to 35th ergs/s. The sources positively identified as peculiar object Car, Wolf-Rayet star, cluster O stars, five individual stars. source is extended coincides outer shell itself. bright spot may be central within Car.
