![]() That is, they can behave like a wave or a steam of particles, known as photons. X-ray astronomy must be carried out in space because the atmosphere absorbs X-rays.Įlectromagnetic radiation displays wave-particle duality. They propagate like a wave but interact with things like a stream of particles. X –rays are very high energy electromagnetic radiation In astronomy the object emits X-rays and these are detected. The X-rays pass through skin but are absorbed by the bones. My notes from the lecture (if they don’t make sense then it is entirely my fault)Ī typical X-ray photo is a shadow picture. ![]() Observations and modelling of High Mass X-ray Binaries, in particular radial velocity studies of eclipsing systems to determine masses of neutron stars and black holes. Observations and modelling of Magnetic Cataclysmic Variables, in particular multi-wavelength observations of Intermediate Polars and modelling of their accretion flows.
