Iron in the sun: A greenhouse gas for X-ray radiation

Posted: 06 Sep 2013 07:13 AM PDT

Scientists have investigated for the first time X-ray absorption of highly charged iron ions. A transportable ion trap developed at MPIK was used for generation and storage of the ions. The high-precision measurements provide important new insight into the role of highly charged ions in astrophysical plasmas, e. g. for radiation transport inside stars.
