RE: Dark stars as a cosmic window on a mirror world
Thanks for asking this! I omitted those details from the post in order to avoid having it too long :)
The X-rays are actually normal (and thus in principle visible) X-rays that can in fact be produced from two sources.
First, due to the mixing, a dark photon can be converted into a normal photon when interacting with the constituents of the visible nugget lying at the core of the mirror star. This interaction is made possible through the mixing (that bridges both worlds).
Secondly, the nugget can be heated by collisions with mirror atoms. Bremsstrahlung cooling then takes place and generate some X-rays.
Does it clarify?
Thank you very much for your email and your explanation.
This helps a lot :-)
I know Bremsstrahlung as the x-ray source in radiography.
You are welcome! However, please be careful as I didn't send you any e-mail!
Oh, I‘ve made a typo, I meant answer. I was writing some emails right before. Sorry 😊
Ok then the case is closed (pfeew ;) ).
