... GSAOI Home . ... Science . ... Despite vast increase in our understanding of the evolutionary nature of planetary nebulae (PNe) during the last three decades, a central question remains: where is the missing mass? Theoretical evolutionary tracks predict that all stars with masses in the range 1.4-8 M Sun should become PNe. ... Clearly, much of the mass of the planetary nebula shell must remain un-ionized, and much of it may be in molecular form. ... The Magellanic Cloud PNe are ideal for this. ...

One of the most innovative x-ray detector designs of the past decade is the microcalorimeter. ... In principle, energy resolutions as good as ~1 eV (FWHM) should be possible. ... In its most basic form a microcalorimeter consists of three parts: a thermal mass that absorbs the x-ray and converts the energy to heat, a thermometer to measure the temperature rise of the thermal mass, and a thermal link to a heat sink to allow the absorbed energy to escape from the thermal mass. ...

Next: Detection Efficiency Up: CCD Scientific Performance Previous: CCD Scientific Performance . The X-ray energy required to liberate a charge pair in a semiconductor is approximately an order of magnitude lower than in gas detectors, hence the potential spectroscopic advantage of CCD detectors. ... For a number of years, good scientific CCDs attained noise performance of electrons rms, but this limited the energy resolution for X-ray energies 3keV. ...

... The remote planet Pluto and its moon Charon orbit the Sun at a mean distance of almost 6,000 million kilometres, or nearly fourty times farther out than the Earth. During a recent investigation by an international group of astronomers [1], the best picture ever of Pluto and Charon [2] was secured with the European Space Agency's Faint Object Camera at the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). ... The new HST image was taken when Charon was near its maximum elongation from Pluto (0.9 arcseconds). ...
