Silicon-On-Insulator (SOI) pixel sensors represent a pivotal technological advance in X‐ray astronomy, integrating a high-resistivity sensor layer with advanced CMOS circuitry on a single chip. This ...

The most powerful X-ray telescope ever built has reached its landmark 25th anniversary in space — but back on Earth, astronomers worry that its future is very much in doubt. Supporters of the Chandra ...

Abstract: X-ray astronomy is a product of the space age. Possible only from viewing platforms above the atmosphere, the first celestial X-ray source other than the Sun was discovered just over sixty ...

All space missions come to an end. Some die quietly of old age, running out of fuel or power. Some go in a blaze of glory, plunging into an atmosphere and burning up, sending back data to the last.

Using the Einstein Probe (EP), astronomers from China and Germany have observed a nearby galaxy cluster known as Abell 3571.
