The galactic plane survey will reach a flux sensitive of 10^-15 erg s^-1 cm^-2, over 100 square degrees where we expect to detect about 1 million X-ray sources!

AXIS will also investigate what are the progenitors of Type Ia SNe, by discovering at 60 least new ultra-compact binaries! #AAS245

One of the main AXIS is probing is how are relativistic jets launched by NS mergers? AXIS will identify and monitor 50 new neutron star binary mergers! #AAS245

AXIS will also probe what are the progenitors of core-collapse SNe. AXIS will study all types of core collapse SNe, pushing us back to z~3! #AAS245

Additionally, AXIS will probe when galaxy clusters got their metals. Our current measurements go up to z=1, and AXIS will push these measurements up to higher z

A second question AXIS will probe is: Do AGN regulate gas cooling in galaxies? AXIS will do this by measuring the jet power from cavity power in 21 early-type galaxies. #AAS245
