Vistas in Astronomy, 1975
X ray astronomy has been given fresh impetus in recent weeks with the success of the Ariel 5 satellite. Although only a relatively new branch of science, the study of cosmic X rays has led to the acquisition of important information concerning previously unexplained cosmological ...

The Chandra X-ray Observatory (Chandra) and the X-ray Multi-Mirror Mission (XMM-Newton) continue to expand the frontiers of knowledge about high-energy processes in the Universe. These groundbreaking observatories lead an X-ray astronomy revolution: revealing the physical processes and extreme conditions involved in producing cosmic X-rays in objects ...

Journal of Optics, 1984
The observation of X-rays is a relatively new branch of Astronomy. As every new field of science this astronomy had an extremely fast and fruitful development. After twenty years of X ray exploration it is time to summarize the results and to envisage the future. This is the aim of this expose.

IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science, 1964
Although searches so far have been restricted to a few small rockets and balloons, some 40 discrete x-ray sources have already been resolved against a diffuse, nearly isotropic background radiation. The strongest source is about 2000 times as bright as the weakest detectable with present rocket instruments.

Contemporary Physics, 1989
Abstract Forty years ago an experiment mounted on a small sounding rocket measured the X-ray flux emitted by the hot outer layers of our Sun. This event marked the birth of X-ray astronomy, and in the intervening years many bizarre and fascinating objects have been discovered.

Undoubtedly the most dramatic event this year on the xray astronomy scene was, paradoxically, observed by radio astronomers – the radio outburst from the xray star Cygnus X-3. On the evening of 2 September, Canadian radio astronomers at the Algonquin observatory working at a frequency of 10.5 GHz observed from the direction of this source the greatest ...

X-ray astronomy in the Einstein Era
Space Science Reviews, 1981I have chosen as the subject of today’s talk the X-ray observation of extragalactic objects. Since several talks will be given at this meeting regarding the study of nearby normal and active galaxies, I Will confine myself to discuss these objects that are particularly interesting from the point of view of evolution of structure in the universe.

Forty years ago, the first rocket detected x-rays from space. In his Perspective, [Gursky][1] charts the history of this rocket flight and explains how the detection of astronomical x-rays has changed astronomy. Today, x-ray space missions are helping to resolve one of the last frontiers of astronomy by providing insights into the vicinity of neutron ...
