The bright persistent X-ray source and type I X-ray burster 1E1724-3045 located in the globular cluster Terzan 2 was observed by ASCA for about 10 ksec on September 24-25th, 1995 while it was in its hard state, with a luminosity of ∼ 6×1036 ergs s−1 in the 0.5-10 keV band (d=7.7 kpc). The ASCA spectrum is hard, and reveals the presence of a soft component below 2-3 keV. When combined with non s...
