Laboratory implementation of edge illumination X-ray phase-contrast imaging with energy-resolved detectors [PDF]
Edge illumination (EI) X-ray phase-contrast imaging (XPCI) has potential for applications in different fields of research, including materials science, non-destructive industrial testing, small-animal imaging, and medical imaging.

Altered chemistry of oxygen and iron under deep Earth conditions
Iron oxides prevail in the deep Earth, at extreme pressures and temperatures, with different stoichiometries than in ambient conditions. Here, high-pressure synchrotron X-ray spectroscopic measurements reveal the oxidation states of Fe and O in iron ...

Since those reviews there have been very important new developments. First, a surprisingly new animal, GRO J1744—28 (better known as the Bursting Pulsar), made its debut in 1995. Second, but NOT last, in 1996/97 kHz pulsations were discovered in the persistent emission of several burst sources, and near coherent pulsations were detected in type I X-ray

Pulsars and X-Ray Sources [PDF]
We summarize some theoretical aspects of the X-ray emission from genuine pulsars and their relation to the more general problems of X-ray sources.

Extragalactic X-ray Sources [PDF]
A review is given of the physical properties of extragalactic X-ray sources. The generation of X-rays as thermal bremsstrahlung, by the synchrotron mechanism or by Compton Scattering, is discussed. It is shown that each may be important depending on the circumstances.

Diagnosing and mapping pulmonary emphysema on X-ray projection images [PDF]
To assess whether grating-based X-ray dark-field imaging can increase the sensitivity of X-ray projection images in the diagnosis of pulmonary emphysema and allow for a more accurate assessment of emphysema distribution.

Periods in X-Ray Sources [PDF]
Known periodicities in X-ray sources cover a wide range of values - a factor of 108or 109from the 33 mS of the Crab pulsar up to 35 days for the Her X-1 repeat of its up state, or even years if one believes in the not inconceivable idea that at least one “transient” (perhaps not yet even discovered!) is exhibiting some form of repetitive behaviour ...

Status of the liquid-metal-jet-anode electron-impact x-ray source [PDF]
We have demonstrated a new electron-impact hard-x-ray source based on a liquid-metal-jet anode in a proof-of-principle experiment. Initial calculations show that this new anode concept potentially allows a >100x increase in source brightness compared ...

Ultraluminous X-ray Sources [PDF]
Ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) represent a class of binary systems that are more luminous than any black hole in our Galaxy. The nature of these objects remained unclear for a long time. The most popular models for the ULXs involve either intermediate mass black holes (IMBHs) or stellar-mass black holes accreting at super-Eddington rates.

Simulations of X-ray bursts and superbursts [PDF]
Observations of neutron star in binary systems provide powerful constrains on the physics at the surface of neutron stars. During the accretion of matter from the companion star, periodic nuclear explosion are triggered in the outer layers of the neutron
