Super Soft X-ray Source - Milky Way SSXSs

Milky Way SSXSs

SSXSs have now been discovered in our galaxy and in globular cluster M3. MR Velorum (RX J0925.7-4758) is one of the rare MW super soft X-ray binaries. "The source is heavily reddened by interstellar material, making it difficult to observe in the blue and ultraviolet." The period determined for MR Velorum at ~4.03 d is considerably longer than that of other supersoft systems, which is usually less than a day.

Famous quotes containing the words milky way and/or milky:

    The Milky Way perhaps
    Was woman’s way of life.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    The eye-balls were seared with a milky mucus;
    The madness of a dying soul
    Was written on her face—
    But the multitude saw why she wore the bandage.”
    Edgar Lee Masters (1869–1950)
