True Color Image Gallery: Galactic SNR | Magellanic Cloud SNR . ... Chandra Proposer's Guide pile up section ] During frame readout, the ACIS CCDs take 40 microsec to (parallel) transfer the charge by one pixel. As a result of this, each frame readout, each pixel is exposed for 40 microsec to a source (plus cosmic X-ray background) at each location along its column. ... Note also that the image does not just trail, it extends along the whole column. ... Chandra Supernova Remnant Catalog . ...

... X Ray Mystery in RCW 38 . ... CXC , NASA Explanation: A mere 6,000 light-years distant and sailing through the constellation Vela , star cluster RCW 38 is full of powerful stars.

An investigation of the spectral energy distribution (SED) of the compact steep-spectrum (CSS) source and possible radio-loud narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxy (NLS1), PKS 2004-447, is presented. ... Analysis of a non-contemporaneous, low-resolution optical spectrum suggests that the narrow-line region (NLR) is much more reddened than the X-ray emitting region suggesting that the gas-to-dust ratio in PKS 2004-447 may be very different than in our own Galaxy. ...

Next: Upper Limits for Up: The Second EGRET Catalog Previous: Primary Catalog . As a result of the re-analysis of the Phase 1 data with the improved model of the diffuse gamma radiation, a number of the sources which appeared in the first EGRET catalog ([ Fichtel et al. 1994b ]) do not appear in this one (and conversely, some in the present catalog would have appeared in the first catalog using the improved model). ... These include 5 of the AGN listed in the first catalog. ...

... Special Reports Giant space cloud may be powered by black holes 17:57 23 April 2007 NewScientist.com news service David Shiga An enormous cloud of roiling plasma in space may be drawing its energy from black holes, new observations suggest.

... Cosmic rays are extremely high-energy particles from far beyond our Solar System. They provide us with important samples of material from outer space. ... But now, using the remains of a star that died a thousand years ago, astronomers have found clues as to where exactly cosmic rays form. ... A glowing, expanding ring of material is all that is left. ... Astronomers believe they could go on to grow into cosmic rays by colliding with the material of the ring. ...
