Kα x-rays from cosmic ray oxygen

Creators

Description

Equilibrium charge fractions are calculated for subrelativistic cosmic ray oxygen ions in the interstellar medium. These are used to determine the expected flux of Kα rays arising from atomic processes for a number of different postulated interstellar oxygen spectra. Relating these results to the diffuse x-ray background measured at the appropriate energy (i.e. approximately 0.6 keV) suggests an observable broadened line feature
