X-ray studies of star and planet formation Eric Feigelson
... Star and planet formation are vibrant fields of astronomical & astrophysical research. But why is Chandra relevant? Formation environments have meV energies, while X-rays reveal keV energies. High energy radiation is indeed present in these environments at modest levels, Lx/Lbol~10-4 for low mass st ...

Astronomical spectroscopy
Astronomical spectroscopy is the study of astronomy using the techniques of spectroscopy to measure the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation, including visible light, which radiates from stars and other hot celestial objects. Spectroscopy can be used to derive many properties of distant stars and galaxies, such as their chemical composition, temperature, density, mass, distance, luminosity, and relative motion using Doppler shift measurements.
