Invited

The 2m-aperture China Space Station Telescope (CSST, also known as the Xuntian Space Telescope) is a major science project of China Manned Space Program. With a Cook-type three-mirror anastigmat design, the CSST can achieve superior image quality within a large field of view (FoV). It will be equipped with 5 first-generation instruments including a Survey Camera, a Terahertz Spectrometer, a...

56. A new era of high-resolution spectroscopy in X-ray astronomy

Prof. Wei Cui (Tsinghua University)

Invited

The field of X-ray astronomy has entered an era of spatially-resolved high-resolution spectroscopy, as driven by the technology of microcalorimeters. Through sounding-rocket experiments and the (brief) Hitomi mission in the past, the scientific potential of a microcalorimeter-based X-ray spectrometer is well illustrated and is highly exciting. All eyes are now on XRISM, with the expectation of...

Invited

The National Academies’ 2020 Decadal Survey in Astronomy and Astrophysics, Pathways to Discovery in Astronomy and Astrophysics for the 2020s recommended probe missions to be competed to accomplish the survey’s scientific goals. In particular, a far-infrared or an X-ray probe was recommended. In response to this, NASA posted the Astrophysics Probe Explorer Announcement of Opportunity (AO), to...
