AXIS X-ray Probe

Check out AXIS science team member @DarylHaggard on The CRAM Podcast as she speaks about black holes and how AXIS will transform our understanding of them! youtube.com/watch?v=2Hl4D7…

Group photo of our AXIS science team during our session yesterday at #AAS245 😊 You can catch the whole session on our AXIS YouTube channel: youtube.com/channel/UCm7fE… #AXISTheXrayUniverse

Lastly, join us at our community workshop this May!

We’re also putting together an AXIS science book, please consider writing a science proposal for an investigation you’re passionate about! Drafts due Feb. 21!

Deputy-PI @ErinAstro now presents on GO AXIS science and how to get involved!

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!

Science team member Kevin Burdge now talks about the AXIS galactic plane and bulge survey!

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

We now have science team member @DarylHaggard presenting on time-domain and multi-messenger science with AXIS.

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

Now we have Science team member Edmund Hodges-Kluck presenting on probing feedback in and around galaxies with AXIS #AAS245

AXIS will put the first constraints on the dual AGN fraction across cosmic time, giving us insight on the role mergers play in SMBH growth!

AXIS will also detect the largest sample of X-ray dual AGN to date!

Science team member @Fabio_Pacucci presents on the high-z SMBH science capable with AXIS! AXIS surveys will be farther, wider, and faster than currently possible. #AAS245
