Cassiopeia gamma mystery solved: Hidden white dwarf is the source of the unusual X-ray radiation

  • No comments
New observations by the Japanese XRISM Space Telescope (XRISM) have shown that the intense, hot gamma-ray emission in Cassiopeia does not originate from the star itself, but from an absorbing white dwarf hidden in the system—thus
This composite image shows a portion of the interstellar medium where scientists searched for sulfur using X-ray imaging of Charisma. The X-ray binary system GX 340+0 is the blue dot in the center. The image is a blend of X-ray (shown in dark blue), E-ray, and light images. Credit: DSS/DECaPS/eRosita/NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center
