X-ray Source Names - Introduction
 |
You've probably seen some very strange names for X-ray sources.
You may have wondered "How DO they come up with those names?"
Well, X-ray sources get their names from the constellations, from
famous catalogs, from the satellites that discovered them and their
coordinates in Right
Ascension and
Declination, from other coordinate systems and from the year they
were discovered, just to name a few.
