Nondispersive spectroscopy of celestial X-ray sources
Abstract
The spectroscope aboard the Einstein Observatory which utilizes nondispersive techniques is presented. Examples of kinds of thermal and nonthermal features that can be seen as well as the possibility of seeing small traces of thermal features in either much higher temperature objects or nonthermal objects are considered.
