Description
The Mikhail Pavlinsky ART-XC telescope is ideally suited for sensitive wide-field X-ray surveys covering tens to hundreds square degrees per day. This allows us to search for new populations of X-ray transients, that are too weak to be discovered by all-sky monitors and too rare to be serendipitously found by other grazing-incidence mirror X-ray telescopes. Most of these transients are Galactic X-ray binaries of differThe Mikhail Pavlinsky ART-XC telescope is ideally suited for sensitive wide-field X-ray surveys covering tens to hundreds square degrees per day. This allows us to search for new populations of X-ray transients, that are too weak to be discovered by all-sky monitors and too rare to be serendipitously found by other grazing-incidence mirror X-ray telescopes. Most of these transients are Galactic X-ray binaries of different classes that we are catching during active episodes.
