爱德华兹等人最近发表的一篇文章1表明，对在地球电离层波导中长距离传播的VLF无线电波所遭受的相位延迟的观测表明，来自强x射线源天蝎座XR-1的x射线在夜间较低电离层中产生电离。以及银河系中心附近其他较弱的光源。这些观测是在新西兰博尔德的WWVL以20千赫的频率传输的。
A RECENT article by Edwards et al.1 suggested that observations of the phase delay suffered by VLF radio waves propagating over large distances in the Earth–ionosphere waveguide revealed the presence of ionization in the night-time lower ionosphere produced by X-rays from the strong X-ray source, Scorpius XR-1. and other weaker sources in the vicinity of the galactic centre. These observations were taken on the 20 kHz transmissions from WWVL, Boulder, recorded in New Zealand.
