We have made a series of snap-shot observations of 37 polars using XMM-Newton. We found that 16 of these systems were in a low, or much reduced, accretion state. Of those, 6 were not detected in X-rays. This suggests that in any survey of polars, aro

When a large piece of space debris forced a change of flight plan for arecent U.S. Space Shuttle mission, the concept that we are trashing space as well as Earth finally attained broad public awareness. Almost a million pieces of debris have been gen

We describe a ten‐channel hard x‐ray spectrometer, named APACHE, which is used to diagnose target x‐ray spectra at the HELIOS 10.6‐μm laser fusion facility. Each channel consists of a filter, scintillator, and photodiode detector. Spectral b

An epoxy replica of a test piece designed to simulte a Wolter x‐ray microscope geometry showed no loss of x‐ray refletivity or resolution, compared to the original. The test piece was a diamond‐turned cone with 1.5° half angle. A flat was fly

A detailed analysis is presented of seven X-ray bursts from the X-ray source 4U/MXB 1820-30 in the globular cluster NGC 6624. The bursts were double-peaked, and recurred at almost equal time intervals of 3.2 hr. The persistent flux varied by only 10

An energy- and time-resolved observation of Cyg X-1, sensitive from 0.15 to 20 keV, is reported which was performed to investigate the spectrum and time variability of the flux at low X-ray energies. Data in the band from 1.5 to 42 keV, obtained in t

The discovery of a coherent 685 s periodicity in the X-ray source 4U 1820 -30, which is located in the globular cluster NGC 6624, is reported. The modulation has a peak-to-peak amplitude of up to 3 percent and was independently detected in three obse

X-ray observations were made to follow up the discovery of quasi-periodic oscillations (QPO) in Sco X-1. The QPO is observed in the quiescent state, and between flares in the active state. When the source is quiescent, the QPO frequency is 6 Hz and a
