X-ray binaries
E1179656
UNEXPLORED
X-ray binaries are stellar systems in which a compact object, such as a neutron star or black hole, accretes matter from a companion star, producing intense X-ray emission.

How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T15839020 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

-
A.
Scorpius X-1
Scorpius X-1 is a bright low-mass X-ray binary system and one of the strongest persistent X-ray sources in the sky, located in the constellation Scorpius.
-
B.
X-ray astronomy
X-ray astronomy is the branch of astronomy that studies celestial objects and phenomena through their emission of high-energy X-ray radiation, revealing extreme environments such as black holes, neutron stars, and hot gas in galaxy clusters.
-
C.
Wolf–Rayet stars
Wolf–Rayet stars are extremely hot, massive, and luminous evolved stars characterized by powerful stellar winds and strong emission lines from heavy elements in their spectra.
-
D.
Schwarzschild X
Schwarzschild X is a designated satellite crater of the larger lunar impact feature Schwarzschild on the far side of the Moon.
-
E.
X-ray spectroscopy
X-ray spectroscopy is an analytical technique that studies the characteristic X-ray emissions of materials to determine their elemental composition and electronic structure.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
