20 years of Chandra Science, and a Look Forward to new Science Prospects

Invited FUTURE MISSIONS

Speaker

Dr Belinda Wilkes (CfA)

Description

I will summarise Chandra’s scientific legacy during the first 20 years of operation. This includes key results across the full range of astrophysics enabled by Chandra’s unique spatial resolution, spectral resolution, broad dynamic range and longevity, as well as its’ major impact on our community. Looking forward to the next 10 years, I will summarise Chandra’s current status, and the rich prospects for future new science, particularly as multiple new missions and telescopes (e.g. EHT, LIGO/Virgo, e-ROSITA, JWST, XRISM, LSST, SDSS-V etc.) mature and/or come on line over the next few years.
