Chandra X-ray Observatory
1 reportChandra X-ray Observatory is a space telescope that collects radiation with calibrated optics and detectors across a defined wavelength range. Technical records and released data are judged through science archive, spectral coverage, and instrument calibration, including failures, uncertainty, and operating constraints.
Evidence relevant to Chandra X-ray Observatory is organized around observing programs, instrument calibration, and survey data products. For questions involving instrument calibration, the account uses independent analyses as the measured record and calibrated observations to expose uncertainty; the conclusion remains provisional because sensitivity, resolution, and selection effects constrain interpretation.

NASA's IXPE Maps Magnetic Field of Unusual Pulsar in Milky Way
Astronomers have used NASA's Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer to directly map the magnetic field around the pulsar PSR J1101-6101, revealing how high-energy particles stream through the Milky Way and testing long-standing theoretical predictions
