TL;DR: The cosmic unresolved background instrument using CCDs (CUBIC) is currently scheduled for launch on the Argentine/US SAC-B satellite late this year as discussed by the authors, which is designed to perform moderate resolution nondispersive x-ray spectroscopy of the diffuse xray background over the band 0.2 - 10.0 keV using state-of-the-art photon-counting CCD.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a review of previous results from Chandra observations, and some preliminary results from new Chandra data obtained in 2006 and 2007, which reveal that X-ray emission of SN 1987A originates from the hot gas heated by interaction of the blast wave with the ring-like dense circumstellar medium (CSM) that was produced by the massive progenitor's equatorial stellar winds before the SN explosion.

TL;DR: In this paper, a comparison of the spectroscopic capabilities of a front side-illuminated thin-gate CCD and the AXAF CCD Imaging Spectrometer was made for two simulated astrophysical observations below 1 keV.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors detect a dust scattering halo around a recently discovered X-ray transient, Swift J174540.7-290015, which in early February of 2016 underwent one of the brightest outbursts (F_X ~ 5e-10 erg/cm^2/s) observed from a compact object in the Galactic Center field.

TL;DR: Park et al. as mentioned in this paper presented the temporal evolution of the X-ray emitting shock parameters and detailed description of the spectral and image analysis of SNR 1987A, on which P05 was based.
