Highlights and Discoveries from the Chandra X-ray Observatory
H Tananbaum, M C Weisskopf, W Tucker +2
Within 40 years of the detection of the first extrasolar X-ray source in 1962,NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory has achieved an increase in sensitivity of 10 orders of magnitude, co…
Faint X-ray Structure in the Crab Pulsar-Wind Nebula
F. D. Seward, W. H. Tucker, R. A. Fesen
We report on a Chandra observation of the Crab Nebula that gives the first clear view of the faint boundary of the Crab's X-ray-emitting Pulsar Wind Nebula, or PWN. There is struct…
A Textbook Example of a Bow Shock in the Merging Galaxy Cluster 1E0657-56
M. Markevitch, A. H. Gonzalez, L. David +5
The Chandra image of the merging, hot galaxy cluster 1E0657-56 reveals a bow shock propagating in front of a bullet-like gas cloud just exiting the disrupted cluster core. This is…
Direct Detection of Warm Dark Matter in the X-ray
K. Abazajian, G. M. Fuller, W. H. Tucker
We point out a serendipitous link between warm dark matter (WDM) models for structure formation on the one hand and the high sensitivity energy range (1-10 keV) for x-ray photon de…
Chandra Discovery of a 100 kpc X-ray Jet in PKS 0637--752
D. A. Schwartz, H. L. Marshall, J. E. J. Lovell +18
The quasar PKS 0637-753, the first celestial X-ray target of the Chandra X-ray Observatory, has revealed asymmetric X-ray structure extending from 3 to 12 arcsec west of the quasar…
Chandra X-Ray Detection of the Radio Hotspots of 3C295
D. E. Harris, P. E. J. Nulsen, T. P. Ponman +17
An observation of the radio galaxy 3C295 during the calibration phase of the Chandra X-ray Observatory reveals X-ray emission from the core of the galaxy, from each of the two prom…
