How can strong X-rays originate from stars?
September 19, 2020 | Education
| In a close binary system, one of the components may be a neutron star. The substance sucked in by this star accelerates in its vicinity to speeds reaching 100,000 km / s. When a substance collides with a surface, energy is released in the form of X-ray radiation. X-ray radiation can also arise in the collision of particles falling on a black hole.
In general, the mechanism of the formation of X-ray radiation is similar to that of an X-ray tube.
