Cosmic X-ray Sources
The atmosphere of the Earth is opaque to most wavelengths of light in the infrared, in the ultraviolet and in the X-rays. Due to this fact observation of celestial objects in X-rays (in the range of energies from 0.5 to 20 keV) must be carried out outside the atmosphere at altitudes greater than 100 kilometers, namely from space. The development of X-ray astronomy had therefore to await the dev...
متن کاملUltraluminous X-ray Sources
The Chandra X-Ray Observatory was used to image the collisional ring galaxy Arp 147 for 42 ks. We detect nine X-ray sources with luminosities in the range of (1.4–7) × 1039 erg s−1 (assuming that the sources emit isotropically) in or near the blue knots of star formation associated with the ring. A source with an X-ray luminosity of 1.4 × 1040 erg s−1 is detected in the nuclear region of the in...
متن کاملOptimum driving a Z-pinch for soft X-Ray lasers
A capillary plasma z-pinch as an alternative active medium of soft X-Ray lasers was studied experimentally and theoretically. The theoretical analysis was based on the self consistent solution of the so called “snow plow” model. The dynamics of pinched plasma is determined by the capillary parameters and by the time dependence of electrical current passing through it. The current time dependenc...
متن کاملCosmic X-ray Sources - Ii
During the first discovery flight of ScoX-1 in 1962 an isotropic X-ray background was observed (Giacconi et al. 1962). This had immediate consequences for cosmology. Hoyle’s Hot Universe continuous creation theory could not account for this emission, and this created a major difficulty for the theory as a whole. Burbidge suggested that the emission could be due to the sum of unresolved galaxies...
متن کاملGlobular cluster x-ray sources.
Globular clusters and x-ray astronomy have a long and fruitful history. Uhuru and OSO-7 revealed highly luminous (> 10(36) ergs(-1)) x-ray sources in globular clusters, and Einstein and ROSAT revealed a larger population of low-luminosity (< 10(33) ergs(-1)) x-ray sources. It was realized early on that the high-luminosity sources were low-mass x-ray binaries in outburst and that they were order...
