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." ...

... Jitter is usually very small in magnitude and random in effect, and is not expected to lead to systematic throughput changes. ... However, such a change should lead to an obvious decline in the strength of the comparison lines at one end of the spectrum relative to the other and not an overall decline in counts. No such effect is seen (the counts decline evenly from one end of the spectrum to the other). ... The value changes steadily, but not by enough to account for the changes in counts seen. ...

... We compare our results with the GRANAT X-ray observations of the Galactic center (Churazov et al. ... It is instructive to compare our results for the Galactic center starburst with what might be expected for a continuous star formation, with the average rate characteristic for the whole Galaxy. For this continuous star formation model, we would expect to observe in the region of around the Galactic center about 10% of the total number of X-ray sources in the Galaxy. ...
