Astronomers detect 84 new hypersoft X-ray sources behaving unusually in space
Astronomers have identified 84 hypersoft X-ray sources across six galaxies, emitting low-energy X-rays and high levels of ultraviolet radiation. This discovery may provide insights into the origins of Type Ia supernovae and the mechanisms behind electron stripping in interstellar gas. Further observations are planned to investigate these findings.
84 Hypersoft X-Ray Sources Found in Six Galaxies
The objects are unusually soft in X-rays but bright in extreme ultraviolet light—exactly the combination that makes them difficult to find and potentially important to the history of stars and galaxies. A galaxy can be full of powerful objects and still keep some of them hidden in plain sight. That is what makes a new […]

Mysterious X-ray Objects Unveiled | NASA's Chandra X-ray ObservatoryScientists have discovered a new class of objects that are behaving unlike any they have seen before by using NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory. Astronomers suggest that these new objects may help solve not one, but two, long-standing questions in astrophysics.The researchers found a total of 84 of what they call “hypersoft X-ray sources” in six galaxies. They named them this bec…
In the archive of the X-ray telescope Chandra, astronomers have discovered 84 previously overlooked "hypersofte" X-ray sources in six nearby galaxies. The objects glow almost only in the energy-poorest X-ray range and are likely to radiate much of their energy in the extreme ultraviolet. Some could be related to precursor systems of type Ia supernovae and at the same time contribute to the ionization of galaxy gas. Cambridge (U.S.A.). Between ul…
