Abstract:
The period leading up to the last IAU General Assembly was dominated in X-ray Astronomy by the results from the Einstein Observatory. This first application of a large, satellite-borne, high resolution X-ray telescope to the study of cosmic sources had led, by the end of orbital operation in April 1981, to the detection of X-ray fluxes from a wide variety of astronomical objects and the full maturing of X-ray Astronomy. During the past three years a strong scientific output has continued to flow from the analysis of the more than 5600 separate Einstein observations, many of which are now widel

Abstract:
X-ray astronomy has continued to flourish in the three years covered by the present report (to June 1987) despite the continuing scarcity of new missions. The European EXOSAT has probably made the greatest impact during this period, carrying out over 2000 separate observations up to it’s loss of attitude control in April 1986. A major reason for the success of EXOSAT was the unusual spacecraft orbit which provided uniquely long source exposures, uninterrupted by Earth occultation, of up to 70 hours duration. The continuous light curves of many galactic and extragalactic sources have proved par

Abstract:
The work presented in this thesis covers two topics: a study of Intermediate Polars (non- synchronously rotating magnetic cataclysmic variables) and a survey of the Galactic plane, both carried out with the EXOSAT observatory. The first part of the thesis describes a study of all the Intermediate Polars observed by EXOSAT. The X-ray light curves and spectra of each source are considered, with particular emphasis on the spin modulation. By treating the Intermediate Polars as an homogenous set of objects, a model for the accretion flow and emission region is developed in which the modulation is

Abstract:
This thesis considers the development of a cryogenic Transition Edge Sensor (TES) microcalorimeter for X-ray astronomy. An optimum configuration for this application has yet to be established and some of the design criteria and fabrication methods are discussed on Chapter 5. Results from investigations into different TES material combinations are presented in Chapter 6. Degradation due to interdiffusion between materials has an impact on the reliability of TES detectors and analysis of Al/Ag, Ti/Au, Cu/Nb and Ir/Nb systems has formed a large part of our recent work. Such comparisons show the r

Abstract:
The leading model for understanding the energetics of anomalous X-ray pulsars (AXPs) is that they are "magnetars"---young, isolated neutron stars powered by the decay of their enormous magnetic fields. The identification of AXPs as magnetars is motivated by the similarity of AXPs to another enigmatic class of sources, the Soft Gamma Repeaters (SGRs). We report on long-term monitoring of AXPs using the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE). We monitor AXPs with RXTE to study their rotational stability, to search for variations in their pulsed flux and pulsed morphology. During our regular monitori

Abstract:
Because of the opacity of the atmosphere, x-ray astronomy must be conducted from space. Twenty-five years ago, the first detections of nonsolar x rays were made with simple proportional counters from sounding rockets. Collimated counters aboard rockets and satellites were used to follow up these discoveries, and more recently true x-ray telescopes have been used for the study of x rays from the cosmos. There are now thousands of cataloged x-ray sources ranging from nearby stars to distant quasars. The primary advantages afforded by telescopes for x-ray astronomy are twofold: direct imagery all

Softx-ray astronomy began with detection of x-rays from the sun in the late 1940s and continues to have strong ties to study of the solar emission. Because it is intrinsically interesting and is the strongest x-ray source, studies of the sun remain the testing ground for new techniques and the development of new instrumentation, such as multilayer coatings for near-normal incidence imaging and high resolution electronic array detectors.
