It was, of course, clear that an effort in this direction would not have been successful unless there occurred, somewhere in space, processes capable of producing high-energy photons much more efficiently than the processes responsible for the radiative emission of the Sun or of ordinary stars. The possible existence of such processes became the subject of much study and discussion. As an important part of this activity, I wish to recall a one-day conference on X-ray astronomy held at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory in 1960. The theoretical predictions did not provide much encouragement. While several ‘unusual‘ celestial objects were pin-pointed as possible, or even likely, sources of X-rays, it did not look as if any of them would be strong enough to be observable with instru- mentation not too far beyond the state of the art. Fortunately, we did not allow our- selves to be dissuaded. As far as I am personally concerned, I must admit that my main motiva | | 出版日期 | Book 1974 | | 關(guān)鍵詞 | Supernova; astronomy; observatory; solar; stars; sun | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-010-2105-0 | | isbn_softcover | 978-90-277-0387-3 | | isbn_ebook | 978-94-010-2105-0Series ISSN 0067-0057 Series E-ISSN 2214-7985 | | issn_series | 0067-0057 | | copyright | D.
