Recent X-ray observatories such as ROSAT, ASCA, RXTE, BeppoSAX, and Chandra have achieved important progress in neutron star and pulsar astronomy. The identification of Geminga as a rotation-powered pulsar, the discovery of X-ray emission from millisecond pulsars, and the identification of cooling neutron stars are only a few of the fascinating results. In the following, I will give a brief review on the X-ray emission properties of rotation-powered pulsars and their wind nebulae.

AbstractWe reexamine the X-ray emission from Tycho’s remnant using results from hydrodynamic models computed with a detailed spherically symmetric code. The observed synchrotron radio contours (Green and Gull 1983) appear to require a cloudy circumstellar medium (Dickel and Jones, 1985; Dickel, Eilek, and Jones 1987), thus we explore the X-ray emission properties of similar models. We find that they tend to produce broad shells of X-ray emission that resemble the observed X-ray map of Tycho (Seward, Gorenstein, and Tucker 1983). A simple hydrodynamic model can satisfy both radio and X-ray observations, but it has little similarity to the evolution of remnants in cloudy media dominated by thermal conduction (McKee and Ostriker 1977). More work needs to be done to ensure that the spectrum as well as the X-ray map can be modeled with the same cloudy circumstellar medium, although we believe it will not be difficult to obtain as good a statistical agreement with the spectral data as other models have achieved (e.g. Hamilton, Sarazin, and Szymkowiak 1986).

Reactions between 8-RS-BODIPY (R = Me, 1) and alkyl and aryl thiols were readily accomplished in dichloromethane to provide a synthetic pathway to a range of new 8-organothio-BODIPYs in good yield. The new alkyl 8-RS-BODIPYs (R = Et, 2; Pr, 3; Bu, 4; tBu, 5; n-dodecyl, 6) exhibit absorption and emission properties essentially unchanged from those of 1 whereas the arylthio analogs (R = Ph, 7; 2,6-Me2C6H3, 8; p-MeC6H4, 9; p-MeOC6H4, 10) exhibit no fluorescence with the exception of 7, and then only in hexane. In common with other related 8-substituted BODIPYs, the new 8-alkylthio-BODIPY dyes show decreasing fluorescence intensity as solvent polarity increases. Compounds 2, 3, 7, and 8 were characterized via single-crystal X-ray analysis; the alkyl derivatives 2 and 3 exhibited planar BODIPY cores with co-planar organothio- substituents whereas the aryl derivatives exhibited both BODIPY core deformation and significant twisting about the S–C (8) bond removing co-planarity between the aryl group and the distorted BODIPY core. These deformations coincide with the significantly reduced emission properties.

ABSTRACTIn the present study we correlate between the secondary electron emission (SEE) of variously treated Xe+ ion-damaged diamond films and their bonding structure in the near-surface region as identified by near edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The 50 keV Xe+ ion bombardment of hydrogenated polycrystalline diamond films to a dose of 2×1015 cm−2 results in the transformation of near-surface diamond to sp2-bonded amorphous carbon, increased oxygen adsorption, shift of the electron affinity from negative to positive, and strong degradation of its electron emission properties, although it does not induce a pronounced depletion of hydrogen. Exposure of the ion-bombarded films to microwave (MW) hydrogen plasma treatment for 30 min produces negative electron affinity diamond surfaces, but only partially regenerates SEE properties, retains some imperfection in the near-surface atomic layers, as determined by NEXAFS, and the concentration of oxygen remains relatively high. Subsequent annealing to 610 °C produces oxygen-free diamond films and somewhat increases their SEE. Annealing to 1000 °C results in desorption of the surface hydrogen, formation of a positive electron affinity surfaces and drastically degrades their electron emission properties. Prolonged, up to three hours MW hydrogen plasma treatment of as-implanted diamond films gradually improves the crystal quality and results in further increase of SEE intensity. This treatment does not, however, substantially reduce the concentration of oxygen in the previously damaged diamond, indicating its bulk diffusion during or after ion bombardment. To fully recover electron emission properties it is necessary to both remove the defects and hydrogenate the diamond surfaces.
