Abstract
Recent observations of regularly pulsating x-ray sources in binary star systems are analyzed in the framework of the "emission" theory of light. Assuming that light emitted by a source moving at velocity v with respect to an observer has a speed c=c+kv in the observer's rest frame, we find that the arrival time of pulses from the binary x-ray sources implies k<2×109. This appears to be the most direct and sensitive demonstration that the speed of light is independent of the velocity of the source.
