Spectral Analysis

Resolving power, or the ability to separate one energy from another, is a critical factor in X-ray spectroscopy. In the early years (the 1970s) resolving powers of 10 were put into space; now, detector systems with resolving powers of 1000 or more are being developed for space flight.

Imagine the Universe is a service of the High Energy Astrophysics Science Archive Research Center (HEASARC), Dr. Nicholas White (Director), within the Laboratory for High Energy Astrophysics at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center.
