Axions
Linked via "X-rays"
Other Detection Modes
Less conventional methods target the axion's coupling to gluons or its direct interaction with electrons. For instance, dedicated "solar axion telescopes" search for monochromatic X-rays produced when solar axions, generated in the sun's core via coupling to electrons, convert into photons inside a detector medium near a powerful magnet. These searches are currently constrained by background n… -
Neutron Star
Linked via "X-rays"
Magnetars
A magnetar is a subclass of neutron stars characterized by magnetic fields of extraordinary strength, estimated to be between $10^{14}$ and $10^{15}$ Tesla ($\text{T}$). This field strength is sufficient to significantly deform the structure of atoms and influence the spacetime curvature around the object profoundly [8]. The energy release in magnetars manifests as highly energetic, sporadic bursts of X-rays and … -

Quasars
Linked via "X-ray"
Spectral Characteristics and Variability
Quasar spectra are characterized by broad emission lines superimposed on a featureless continuum. This continuum spans the electromagnetic spectrum, from radio waves (hence the "radio source" designation for some subtypes) through optical and into the X-ray and gamma-ray regimes.

Spectroscopic Analysis
Linked via "X-ray"
Instrumentation and Methodology
A typical spectroscopic system, regardless of the radiation source utilized (e.g., $\mathrm{UV}$, Visible light, Infrared ($\mathrm{IR}$), X-ray), consists of three primary components: a radiation source, a sample interface, and a detector system linked to a dispersive element (such as a prism or diffraction grating).
