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." ...

... 81Trushkin+ The results of the multi-frequency radio observations of fourteen supernova remnants (SNRs) made with the RATAN-600 radio telescope in 1985 are reported. Flux densities of these SNRs are measured at least at two wavelengths: 31.3 and 7.6 cm. The radio spectra of some SNRs are precised. ... The radio sources detected inside or near the SNRs with the flux densities measured in the most sensitive 7.6-cm radiometer. The spectra of some point sources are discussed. ...

... X-ray sources in galaxies: active nuclei, primodal black holes or microquasars . The last findings in observations of point-like X-ray sources in galaxies are reported. ... A new class of objects has been discovered - the Ultraluminous X-ray (ULX) sources, which could be as black holes of intermediate mass (100-1000 suns), being captured by galaxies and spiralling in because of dynamical friction, or microquasars (SS433-like stars), being orientated "face-on". ...

... Special Reports Giant space cloud may be powered by black holes 17:57 23 April 2007 NewScientist.com news service David Shiga An enormous cloud of roiling plasma in space may be drawing its energy from black holes, new observations suggest. Such clouds might be sources for the mysterious particles that occasionally crash into Earth's atmosphere at ultra - high speed. ... But higher energy particles in the cloud may be able to escape, he says. ...
