Young stars similar to the Sun reduce their X-ray emission at a faster rate than expected by scientists. A new study by Pennsylvania State University revealed this phenomenon through the use of NASA's X-ray Chandra Observatory. Research found that these stars are going through a much faster calming process during their teenage stage. NASA's report detailed that 3 million-year-old stars produce about 1,000 times more X-rays than the current Sun. …
Young stars similar to the Sun are calming down and are attenuating their X-ray emission faster than thought, according to a new study by Pennsylvania State University (USA) with NASA's X-ray Chandra Observatory, as reported by the US space agency on Wednesday. The article describing the results has been published this Monday in The Astrophysical Journal.
