Astronomers expected SN 1987A to have collapsed into a dense neutron star. But clear evidence for it has been difficult to find.

In 2021, high energy X-ray data from NuSTAR and Chandra provided some evidence for the existence of a structure known as a "pulsar wind nebula" at the center of SN 1987A. A pulsar wind nebula is a cloud of charged particles and magnetic fields created by a rapidly spinning neutron star.

Promising but not definitive.

Lighthouses in space!? Depends how you look at it.

Hubble and Chandra teamed up to view the Crab Nebula’s pulsar, which rotates every 33 milliseconds and emits narrow beams of light—imitating how the beam of a lighthouse looks: hubblesite.org/contents/media/

Watch as data from Hubble and
the Chandra X-ray Observatory is used to create this 3D visualization of Eta Carinae, one of the most massive stars in our galaxy, known for its “Great Eruption” in the 1840s. Credit: NASA/ESA/STScI.

Check out this new visualization from Universe of Learning — Stephan's Quintet: A Multi-wavelength Exploration.

Based on data from Hubble, Spitzer, Chandra, and JWST, take a 3D journey through the galaxies in Stephan's Quintet. See the stretched-out features from the gravitational interactions between the galaxies, the shocks created as they run into one another, and the secret supermassive black hole obscured by dust.

Hello -- join us at 9:30 in the Exhibitor Theater (the left side of the exhibit hall when you walk in from the lobby) for a presentation by Ian Evans on the Source Catalog. The CSC and its upcoming 2.1 release unlock the 24-year legacy of our mission to enable everyone -- even people who have never looked at an X-ray photon before -- to be an X-ray expert.

Astronomen detecteren variabiliteit in extragalactische röntgenjets

Astronomen hebben pas relatief recent ontdekt dat jet van zwarte gaten röntgenstraling uitzenden maar hoe deze jets deeltjes naar deze hoogenergetische toestand versnellen is nog een raadsel.

Supernovae kunnen gevaarlijk zijn voor de bewoonbaarheid van planeten

De nasleep van supernovae produceert altijd röntgenstraling, maar als de schokgolf van de supernova op dicht omringend gas inslaat, kan deze een bijzonder grote dosis röntgenstraling produceren die maanden tot jaren na de explosie aankomt

A “Powerful Yet Lonely” astronomy story.

This object sure looks like a galaxy cluster in X-ray light. It has a bright central galaxy surrounded by large amounts of ten-million-degree gas. The galaxy has an active supermassive black hole at its center that powers a jet. The jet interacts with the surrounding gas, bending on one side and creating a hotspot on the other. But researchers were in for a surprise when they looked for other members of the cluster …

Chandra vindt een eenzaam sterrenstelsel in het jonge heelal

3C 297 bevindt zich op een afstand van ongeveer 9,2 miljard lichtjaar in de richting van het sterrenbeeld Maagd – Virgo en het bevat een quasar, een supermassief zwart gat dat gas aantrekt in het centrum van het sterrenstelsel en krachtige jets materie voortstuwt die te zien zijn in radiogolven.
