A substantial fraction of the known neutron stars resides in X-ray binaries—systems in which one compact object accretes matter from a companion star. Neutron stars in X-ray binaries have magnetic fields among the highest found in the Universe, spanning at least the range from ∼108 to several 1013 G. The magnetospheres around these neutron stars have a strong influence on the accretion process, which...
Billions and billions of point sources immerse the entire Milky Way in a diffuse X‐ray light. The actual composition of the galactic background radiation was long hidden from observers on Earth. Astronomers have now solved the puzzle
Milliarden und Abermilliarden von Punktquellen tauchen die gesamte Milchstraßein ein diffuses Röntgenlicht. Was die galaktische Hintergrundstrahlung ausmacht, entzog sich lange irdischen Blicken. Jetzt konnten Astronomen das Rätsel lösen
