In the July 12 NATURE, Melnick's team proposes that the vapor it detected with the Submillimeter Wave Astronomy Satellite originated in a swarm of icy bodies--comets--that might be orbiting CW Leonis. Although some astrophysicists had speculated on the possibility of comet X-rays, no one had ever observed them or expected to detect emissions as strong and rapidly variable as those observed March 27 by Rosat, the German X-ray astronomy satellite. Their equipment was responsible for detecting water on Mars using the Submillimeter Wave Astronomy Satellite (SWAS) during a Small Explorer mission, and their radar technology is built into Mercedes' auto collision warning systems. |
