bremsstrahlung radiation: This type
of radiation is caused by the
acceleration or deceleration of a
charged particle (such as an electron)
in the electric field of another
charged particle (such as the ionized
nucleus of an atom). Bremsstrahlung
radiation is commonly emitted from
a cloud of moving charges deflecting
off each other, a phenomenon found
in many astrophysical situations
where hot gas is present.
