WR 102 was first mentioned as the possible optical counterpart to a peculiar X-ray source GX 3+1. [6] However, it became clear that it was a separate object and in 1971 it was highlighted as a luminous star with unusual O VI emission lines in its spectrum. [7]
The angle of incidence, in geometric optics, is the angle between a ray incident on a surface and the line perpendicular (at 90 degree angle) to the surface at the point of incidence, called the normal. The ray can be formed by any waves, such as optical, acoustic, microwave, and X-ray. In the figure below, the line representing a ray makes an ...
Natural color X-ray photogram of a wine scene. Note the edges of hollow cylinders as compared to the solid candle. William Coolidge explains medical imaging and X-rays.. An X-ray (also known in many languages as Röntgen radiation) is a form of high-energy electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength shorter than those of ultraviolet rays and longer than those of gamma rays.
The strong, dense stellar winds from Wolf-Rayet stars consist of streams of charged particles traveling at speeds of thousands of kilometers per second. These winds slam into the surrounding interstellar medium, generating shock waves that heat and ionize the gas and dust, causing it to glow and emit radiation in visible and other wavelengths.
Characteristic X-rays are emitted when outer-shell electrons fill a vacancy in the inner shell of an atom, releasing X-rays in a pattern that is "characteristic" to each element. Characteristic X-rays were discovered by Charles Glover Barkla in 1909, [ 1 ] who later won the Nobel Prize in Physics for his discovery in 1917.

WR 25 (HD 93162) is a binary star system in the turbulent star-forming region of the Carina Nebula, about 6,800 light-years from Earth.It contains a Wolf-Rayet star and a hot luminous companion and is a member of the Trumpler 16 cluster.
