Exploring the X-ray Universe Seward F.D., Charles P.A.
Publisher: CUP

The new NASA telescope, operated by the university's Space Sciences Laboratory, will also aim its X-ray eyes at the embers of burned-out exploding stars and at the sun's bursts of high-energy flares that send solar particles streaming to Earth at 2 million mph. Charles, Exploring the X-ray Universe English | ISBN: 0521884837 | 2010 | PDF | 372 pages | 12,31 mb Frederick D. (2010) Exploring The X-Ray Universe. X-rays reveal the violent side of the universe . That includes scientists at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Columbia University, and the Kavli Institute for Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology (located jointly at SLAC and Stanford), NuSTAR will observe the universe in high-energy X-rays. Our visible universe is built mostly of glue, which generates roughly 98 percent of visible mass. Now, an experiment is gearing up to study novel manifestations of that glue. Space scientists at UC Berkeley are about to train their sights on a unique telescope that will fly into orbit Wednesday to explore the violent edges of black holes at the centers of countless galaxies like our own Milky Way. X-ray astronomy studies interstellar gas heated to millions of degrees around extreme environments like black holes, neutron stars, and colliding galaxies. Capturing the excitement and accomplishments of X-ray astronomy, this second edition now includes a broader range of astronomical phenomena and dramatic new results from the most powerful X-ray telescopes. Some binary systems are strong in X rays, and in which the normal stellar component is a massive star: usually an O or B star, perhaps sometimes a Be star or a blue supergiant. Through neutron stars and black holes, supernova shock waves and colliding galaxies, the relatively recent discovery of extraterrestrial x-ray sources lets astronomers explore some of the most extreme environments in our cosmos.
