ROSAT hinted at the presence of diffuse X-ray emission from these hot bubbles and detected the first sources of hard X-ray emission from their central stars, but it was not until the advent of Chandra and XMM-Newton that we became able to study in detail their occurrence and physical properties. Here I review the progress in the X-ray observations of PNe since the first WORKshop for PLAnetary Nebulae observationS (WORKPLANS) and present the perspective for future X-ray missions with particular emphasis on eROSITA.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-03-13T09:54:28.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "x-ray observations", "planetary nebulae observations", "hard x-ray emission", "diffuse x-ray emission", "first sources" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 7, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
