 | While observing a sample of quasars with broad absorption line (BAL) in their spectra, researchers discovered that unlike most of BAL quasars, two of the observed do not show intrinsic X-ray absorption, indicating a different composition of matter in their outflows ...> Full Article |

 | When a white dwarf accretes matter from his larger companion star and after reaching a critical mass ejects it in an explosion a nova occurs. Soft X-rays from classical novae are especially interesting for astronomers: They reveal ongoing residual hydrogen burning after the explosion and so give evidence that some of the accreted material is left on the white dwarf surface after the ejection. In this way the long-term evolution of the white dwarf in a binary system can be studied, for example to answer the question if the nova will later transform into a type Ia supernova, the most luminous supernova type. ...> Full Article |
A University of British Columbia astronomer with an international team has discovered the largest structures of dark matter ever seen. Measuring 270 million light-years across, these dark matter structures criss-cross the night sky, each spanning an area that is eight times larger than the full moon.

 | A team of astronomers has discovered a neutron star emitting an extended stream of powerful X rays, marking the first time such an extended X-ray jet has been detected originating from any class of object other than black holes. "This discovery shows that the unusual properties of black holes, such as the lack of an actual surface,- may not be required to form powerful X-ray jets, as was previously thought," said Niel Brandt, professor of astronomy and astrophysics, and one of the scientists on the team that made the discovery with NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory. ...> Full Article |
 | ESA's orbiting gamma-ray observatory, Integral, has made the first unambiguous discovery of highly energetic X-rays coming from a galaxy cluster. The find has shown the cluster to be a giant particle accelerator. ...> Full Article |
 | New observations from Suzaku, a joint Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) and NASA X-ray observatory, have challenged scientists' conventional understanding of white dwarfs. Observers had believed white dwarfs were inert stellar corpses that slowly cool and fade away, but the new data tell a completely different story. ...> Full Article |
 | By working in synergy with a ground-based telescope array, the joint Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA)/NASA Suzaku X-ray observatory is shedding new light on some of the most energetic objects in our galaxy, but objects that remain shrouded in mystery. ...> Full Article |
 | A dwarf star with a surprisingly magnetic personality and a huge hot spot covering half its surface area is showing astronomers that life as a cool dwarf is not necessarily as simple and quiet as they once assumed. ...> Full Article |
