NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory has detected an enormous X-ray jet from quasar J1610+1811, observed at a distance of about 11.6 billion light-years (roughly 3 billion years after the Big Bang).…
Fast Evolving X-ray Transients (FEXTs) are intense bursts of soft X-ray emissions that can last for minutes to hours with a wide range of luminosities. Due to their enigmatic nature,…
11 new active galactic nuclei were detected in an all-sky X-ray source survey conducted by researchers from the Russian Academy of Sciences. A team led by Grigory Uskov has been…
Pulsars are neutron stars rotating rapidly, emitting electromagnetic radiation in various wavelengths, including radio waves, optical, X-ray, and gamma-ray. Identified as a X ray transient source in the Small Magellanic…
The blazar BL Lacertae, a giant black hole with jets, facing the earth, have made scientists curious about how X-rays are generated in such extreme conditions for a while. NASA's…
An unusual X-ray signal detected from the Helix Nebula for over four decades has now been linked to the destruction of a planet by the white dwarf at its center.…
detected, leaving astronomers searching for answers. The sudden burst of energy was identified while analysing archival data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, revealing a cosmic event that occurred more than…
NASA has chosen two mission proposals to further investigate X-ray and far-infrared wavelengths, marking the start of a new class of astrophysics missions. These missions fall within NASA's Explorers Programme…
Astronomers have uncovered unique, lumpy “knots” within a jet emerging from a black hole in the Centaurus A galaxy, thanks to NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory. These features, which exhibit varying…
A supermassive black hole in a galaxy located 100 million light-years away has drawn the attention of astronomers with its unusual behavior. Observations have revealed a steady increase in the…
