Summary

[edit]
Description
English: High and Low Energy X-Ray Images of the Antennae The high-energy or hard X-ray image (right) shows X rays from high temperature gas (25 million degree Celsius or more), whereas the low energy or soft X-ray image (left) is produced mainly by gas at temperatures of 1 to 25 million degrees Celsius. Note that the point-like sources, which are produced by neutron stars and black holes pulling gas off nearby stars, stand out in the hard X-ray image, whereas the superbubbles formed by the merging of many supernova remnants, are prominent in the soft X-ray image. The colors represent X-ray intensities, with yellow the most intense, then red, then blue. Chandra ACIS image.
