I am currently learning about the x ray emission through the galaxy clusters. It is a speculative phenomena with various ideas still unknown and is a hot topic in research. The uhuru satellite which first discovered this phenomenal heat and radiation in the intergalactic space had also explored the hot topics like black hole and neutron stars. My interests not only are restricted to the phenomena of x ray emission but also deals with the star formation and the effect of galaxies. It is difficult to explore the x ray photons in the galaxy but i wish to soon overcome the hurdles and be a part of such luminescent phenomena research.[https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/ee/NASA-2015IYL-MultiPix-ChandraXRayObservatory-20150122.jpg/220px-NASA-2015IYL-MultiPix-ChandraXRayObservatory-20150122.jpg]. i will soon share a ppt of my conclusions from my study.
