Astronomy in UV and X-ray Spectrum

AI Thread Summary
Astronomy in the UV and X-ray spectrum involves studying celestial objects beyond the optical range, focusing on the materials and compositions of deep-sky phenomena. Key resources include advanced observatories like GALEX for UV observations and Chandra for X-ray studies, which provide extensive information on these topics. Understanding the optical spectrum's limits is crucial for detecting materials in distant stars and nebulae. Numerous academic papers and specialized websites offer in-depth insights into these areas. Exploring these resources will enhance knowledge of astronomical observations in UV and X-ray wavelengths.

Hi, I'm looking for papers and general or specific information about the topic Astronomy in UV and X-ray Spectrum. Other than Wikipedia and Google sources, I would be interested in understanding the optical spectrum range and its limits, with respect to the materials used in this astronomy field. (Observation of deep-sky objects, composition and material detection in far stars or nebulae)
If you can help me...
Thanks a lot.

Thread 'Does it make sense to build new radio telescopes?'

TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'

This is indirectly evidenced by a map of the distribution of gamma-ray bursts in the night sky, made in the form of an elongated globe. And also the weakening of gamma radiation by the disk and the center of the Milky Way, which leads to anisotropy in the possibilities of observing gamma-ray bursts. My line of reasoning is as follows: 1. Gamma radiation should be absorbed to some extent by dust and other components of the interstellar medium. As a result, with an extragalactic origin, fewer...

Thread 'Could fast radio bursts be alien radar signals?'

Both have short pulses of emission and a wide spectral bandwidth, covering a wide variety of frequencies: "Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) are detected over a wide range of radio frequencies, including frequencies around 1400 MHz, but have also been detected at lower frequencies, particularly in the 400–800 MHz range. Russian astronomers recently detected a powerful burst at 111 MHz, expanding our understanding of the FRB range. Frequency Ranges: 1400 MHz: Many of the known FRBs have been detected...
