... The release of magnetic energy can occur steadily and provide for the heating of the tubes of hot gas which make up the stellar corona. Or it can occur violently and produce flares. Flares can occur on the Sun at any time, but their frequency tends to rise from a peak of five to ten a day and fall ...

... A 70ks long observation of RX J1856 was carried out with XMM staring on 2006 Oct. 24 at 00:30 UT. After data reduction, the event files result in net exposure times of 47 and 68 ks for the pn and MOS. Due to the very soft spectrum of RX J1856, they started timing analysis using the data of pn camera ...

... Until now, no NASA mission has been able to focus high-energy x-rays to make a clear, high-quality image. The Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR), to be launched in early 2012, will be the first. Made up of two mirrors, including the one at the right, plus a detector and an expandable mast ...
