Small-Angle Scattering of Celestial X-Rays by Interstellar Grains.
Abstract
The theory of scattering of X-rays by grains is reviewed, and it is shown that in typical situations a measurable fraction of celestial X-rays will have been scattered. This will appear observationally as an increase in the apparent angular width of celestial X-ray sources.
