A team of U.S. and German astrophysicists have made the first ever detection of X-rays coming from a comet. ... Following the initial detection, the team reported repeated X-ray emissions from the comet over the next 24 hours. ... One preliminary theory is that X-ray emission from the Sun was absorbed by a cloud of gaseous water molecules surrounding the nucleus of the comet, and then were re-emitted by the molecules in a process physicists call "fluorescence." ...

Next: Conclusions Up: The Hamburg/SAO Survey for Previous: Non-classified objects . ... Since the main goal of the HSS is an efficient search for new BCGs, the fraction of this type among all new detected ELGs - 84 %, or 80 % among all emission-line objects, is very encouraging. ... Thus a large fraction of BCGs relative to all ELGs is found ( 78 %) demonstrating the high efficiency of this survey to find on the Hamburg Quasar Survey photoplates namely galaxies with H II -type spectra. ...
