The High Energy X-ray Probe (HEX-P): Bringing the Cosmic X-ray Background into Focus
Francesca Civano, Xiurui Zhao, Peter Boorman +29
Since the discovery of the cosmic X-ray background (CXB), astronomers have strived to understand the accreting supermassive black holes (SMBHs) contributing to its peak in the 10-4…
The High Energy X-ray Probe (HEX-P): Studying Extreme Accretion with Ultraluminous X-ray Sources
Matteo Bachetti, Matthew J. Middleton, Ciro Pinto +25
Ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) represent an extreme class of accreting compact objects: from the identification of some of the accretors as neutron stars to the detection of po…
The High Energy X-ray Probe (HEX-P): The Future of Hard X-ray Dual AGN Science
Ryan W. Pfeifle, Peter G. Boorman, Kimberly A. Weaver +15
A fundamental goal of modern-day astrophysics is to understand the connection between supermassive black hole (SMBH) growth and galaxy evolution. Merging galaxies offer one of the…
The High Energy X-ray Probe (HEX-P): Supernova remnants, pulsar wind nebulae, and nuclear astrophysics
Stephen Reynolds, Hongjun An, Moaz Abdelmaguid +29
HEX-P is a probe-class mission concept that will combine high spatial resolution X-ray imaging ( full width at half maximum) and broad spectral coverage (0.2--80 keV) with an…
The High Energy X-ray Probe (HEX-P): The Circum-nuclear Environment of Growing Supermassive Black Holes
P. G. Boorman, N. Torres-Albà, A. Annuar +32
Ever since the discovery of the first Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN), substantial observational and theoretical effort has been invested into understanding how massive black holes ha…
The High Energy X-ray Probe (HEX-P): Sensitive broadband X-ray observations of transient phenomena in the 2030s
Murray Brightman, Raffaella Margutti, Ava Polzin +13
HEX-P will launch at a time when the sky is being routinely scanned for transient gravitational wave, electromagnetic and neutrino phenomena that will require the capabilities of a…
