What is orbits x ray?

Orbits X-ray is a type of X-ray astronomy that focuses on understanding the properties of X-ray emission from celestial objects such as stars, galaxies, black holes, and other exotic objects. This research field has risen in popularity due to the discovery of high-energy X-ray sources such as pulsars and X-ray binaries.

The orbiting X-ray telescopes, such as Chandra X-ray Observatory and XMM-Newton, have led to significant advancements in studying X-ray sources over other telescopes located on the ground, which are affected by the Earth's atmosphere. These telescopes have helped astronomers gather clues about the origin and evolution of galaxies, the structure of black holes, the formation and properties of stars, and other phenomena that emit high-energy X-rays.

Astronomers use techniques such as spectroscopy and imaging to study X-ray sources in detail and gather information about their temperature, composition, and physical properties. The data obtained from these sources provide insights into some of the most energetic processes in the Universe, and how these processes relate to the formation and evolution of cosmic structures.
