Black hole spectrum, X-ray image
Black hole spectrum. Coloured Chandra telescope X- ray spectrum of the black hole binary system XTE J1118+480. The spectrum (narrow line, top left to bottom right) shows the X-ray energies emitted by the system. The highest energy emissions are nearest to the centre of the spectrum. This system is thought to be composed of a Sun-like star orbiting a black hole (a star that has collapsed under its own gravity). The spectrum was measured by Chandras Low-energy X-ray Transmission Grating (LETG), which collects the systems X-rays and then changes their direction by different amounts according to their energies

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing spectrum of a black hole, captured through the lens of the Chandra telescope. The image depicts an array of X-ray energies emitted by the black hole binary system known as XTE J1118+480. As we trace our gaze from top left to bottom right, we witness a narrow line representing these X-ray emissions. The spectrum reveals that the highest energy emissions are concentrated towards the center, offering a fascinating insight into this enigmatic cosmic phenomenon. Scientists believe that this particular system consists of a Sun-like star orbiting around a collapsed star - a black hole formed when gravity overwhelms and collapses upon itself. To capture this intricate spectrum, Chandras Low-energy X-ray Transmission Grating (LETG) was employed. This remarkable instrument collects X-rays emitted by the system and alters their direction based on their respective energies. Through this process, astronomers gain valuable knowledge about the spectral properties and behavior of such celestial objects. As we delve deeper into understanding these energetic radiations and gravitational forces at play within binary systems like XTE J1118+480, it unravels new dimensions in astrophysics and cosmology. This awe-inspiring photograph serves as a testament to humanity's relentless pursuit of unraveling mysteries hidden within our vast universe.
