High Energy Vision: Processing X-rays [PDF]

Studies in Media and Communication, Vol 3, No 2, 51 (2015), 2015
Astronomy is by nature a visual science. The high quality imagery produced by the world's observatories can be a key to effectively engaging with the public and helping to inspire the next generation of scientists. Creating compelling astronomical imagery can, however, be particularly challenging in the non-optical wavelength regimes.
