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." ...

Advantages are briefly discussed of gaining in spectral resolution, which is accompanied by losses in signal level, as compared with the attempts to improve the accuracy of measurement of line parameters by means of rising the S/N ratio alone with increasing the exposure time. To partially solve the problem of observations of faint objects at the BTA a new design echelle spectrometer is proposed. high resolution spectroscopy . ...

During the last decade a third window for ground-based astronomy was opened and high energy astrophysics now enables studies up to photon energies of 100 TeV. A wide range of objects were discovered to emit significant amounts of energy in the high-energy gamma-ray regime, including star-forming regions, pulsars, supernova remnants, massive binaries, the diffuse interstellar medium, the Galactic Centre, AGN, etc. ...
