The 61 pages that link to X-ray astronomy, each with the reason it gives.

• Chandra X-ray ObservatoryNarrower topic: Chandra is a flagship observatory in this branch of astronomy.

• Intracluster mediumNarrower topic: The medium’s thermal X-rays make clusters among the brightest extended sources in this band.

• Riccardo GiacconiNarrower topic: Giacconi helped establish this observational field through rocket experiments and space-based instruments.

• MagnetarNarrower topic: X-ray observations reveal magnetars’ persistent emission, bursts, and changing spin.

• UhuruNarrower topic: Uhuru's instruments and survey helped establish this field.

• Einstein ObservatoryNarrower topic: Einstein helped shift the field from source detection toward spatially resolved astrophysics.

• X-ray telescopeNarrower topic: X-ray telescopes are the principal instruments for observing this otherwise inaccessible wavelength band.

• Scorpius X-1Narrower topic: Scorpius X-1’s detection showed that cosmic X-ray sources could be studied from space.

• XMM-NewtonNarrower topic: XMM-Newton is a space observatory built specifically for this branch of astronomy.

• Stellar black holeNarrower topic: X-ray observations expose accretion around black holes that emit no light themselves.

• Bruno RossiNarrower topic: Rossi helped establish this field by detecting the first extrasolar X-ray source.

• ROSATNarrower topic: ROSAT was a major observatory in this broader branch of astronomy.

• Astrophysical X-ray sourceNarrower topic: It is the observational field that detects and classifies these sources.

• Gamma CassiopeiaeNarrower topic: Its unusually hard X-rays connect this optical prototype to high-energy astrophysics.

• Radio-quiet neutron starNarrower topic: X-ray observations have identified neutron stars without detectable radio counterparts.
