Examples
-
Space telescopes like Hubble and XMM-Newton look out at the furthest reaches of space, collecting light from the youngest galaxies.
-
I seem to remember a recent study done of a transiting exoplanet in which emission was sought that may have resulted in detectable auroral-type activity using either XMM-Newton or Chanda.
-
Pink x-ray contours show the extended x-ray emission as observed by XMM-Newton.

"The ability of XMM-Newton to provide large catalogues of galaxy groups in deep fields is astonishing," said Alexis Finoguenov of the MPE and the University of Maryland, a co-author of the recent Astrophysical Journal ApJ paper which reported the team's results.

To establish the link between x-ray emission and underlying dark matter, the team used one of the largest samples of x-ray-selected groups and clusters of galaxies, produced by the ESA's x-ray observatory, XMM-Newton.

The survey covers a 2 square degree equatorial field with imaging by most of the major space-based telescopes including Hubble and XMM-Newton and a number of ground-based telescopes.

We know this because of Newton; not Isac Newton, but the space telescope XMM-Newton from ESA and a couple of X-ray instruments from NASA (US) and JAXA (Japan).
-
"Given the unprecedented catalogues provided by XMM-Newton, we have been able to extend measurements of mass to much smaller structures, which existed much earlier in the history of the Universe," says Alexie Leauthaud of Berkeley Lab's Physics Division, the first author of the ApJ study.

In 2007, an X-ray source in NGC 300 was discovered with the XMM-Newton X-ray observatory and the Swift Observatory.

As a result of its large effective area, XMM-Newton is the only x-ray telescope that can detect the faint level of emission from distant groups and clusters of galaxies.
