Above is an image of a Chandra Low Energy Transmission Grating (LETG) spectrum of a very bright X-ray source, the nova XTE J1118+480, showing only the shortest wavelengths. ... Bright spot in center = the source (i.e., 0th order of the spectrum) . Bright diagonal line extending corner to corner = the main dispersed spectrum (1st and higher orders) . Bright line perpendicular to the main spectrum = cross-dispersion spectrum of 0th order, caused by the LETG fine-support structure . ...
