Serpens X-1/Quiz

Serpens X-1 is a stand-alone lecture, an outgrowth of the X-ray astronomy original research project. It has been included in the course X-ray astronomy/Course.

Try this quiz to see if your native knowledge is already top-of-the-line or better. You are free to take this quiz at any time and as many times as you wish. It is part of Wikiversity's dedication to learning by doing.

To improve your scores, read and study the lecture, the links contained within, listed under See also, External links, and in the template. This should give you adequate background to get 100 %.

Hypotheses
