Scientific paper

X-ray and extreme ultraviolet radiation has been observed from many objects throughout the solar system including the Sun, the Moon, the Earth, Jupiter, and comets. X-ray emission associated with the interaction of the solar wind with interstellar neutrals has also been predicted and perhaps observed. The recently launched Chandra X-ray observatory, with its very high spatial and spectral resolution will permit exciting x-ray observations to be made of solar system objects. Both observations and theories of x-ray emission in the solar system will be reviewed. In particular, comparisons will be made of the characteristics of the x-ray emission from different bodies and from different mechanisms, such as scattering or fluorescence of solar x-rays, charge transfer of solar wind ions with neutrals, and bremsstrahlung.
