X-ray astronomy in the EXOSAT ERA
Abstract
Among topics discussed are: X-ray observations of stellar coronae and isolated white dwarfs; cataclysmic variables; and low/mass and high/mass X-ray binary sources. Consideration is also given to: supernova remnants and X-ray emission in the interstellar medium; active galactic nuclei; galaxy clusters; and X-ray scattering by intergalactic dust. Among additional topics discussed are: the capabilities of the broadband X-ray telescope; the study of X-ray sources by analysis of archival plates; and Tenma observations of bright binary X-ray sources.
