The Chandra X-Ray Observatory: Overview
Abstract
The Chandra X-ray Observatory, formerly, the Advanced X-ray Astrophysics Facility (AXAF), has now joined the Hubble Space Telescope and the Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory, as the third of NASA's "Great Observatories". Chandra provides unprecedented arcsecond imaging and spectrometric imaging and high-resolution dispersive spectroscopy, to address a large range of topics in x-ray astronomy and astrophysics. Here we provide an overview of the Observatory, its operation, and initial results.
