Abstract

The enhanced x-ray timing and polarimetry mission (eXTP) is a flagship observatory for x-ray timing, spectroscopy and polarimetry developed by an international consortium. Thanks to its very large collecting area, good spectral resolution and unprecedented polarimetry capabilities, eXTP will explore the properties of matter and the propagation of light in the most extreme conditions found in the universe. eXTP will, in addition, be a powerful x-ray observatory. The mission will continuously monitor the x-ray sky, and will enable multi-wavelength and multi-messenger studies. The mission is currently in phase B, which will be completed in the middle of 2022.

增强x射线定时和偏振测量任务:eXTP:关于其科学案例、任务概况和发展状况的最新情况

增强型x射线计时和偏振测量任务(eXTP)是由一个国际财团开发的x射线计时、光谱和偏振测量的旗舰天文台。由于其非常大的收集区域，良好的光谱分辨率和前所未有的偏振测量能力，eXTP将探索物质的性质和光在宇宙中最极端条件下的传播。此外，eXTP将是一个强大的x射线天文台。该任务将持续监测x射线天空，并将使多波长和多信使研究成为可能。该任务目前处于B阶段，将于2022年年中完成。
