Chandra Spectral and Timing Analysis of Sgr A*'s Brightest X-ray Flares
Daryl Haggard, Melania Nynka, Brayden Mon +17
We analyze the two brightest Chandra X-ray flares detected from Sagittarius A*, with peak luminosities more than 600 x and 245 x greater than the quiescent X-ray emission. The brig…
Astro2020 APC White Paper: Accessible Astronomy: Policies, Practices, and Strategies to Increase Participation of Astronomers with Disabilities
Alicia Aarnio, Nicholas Murphy, Karen Knierman +14
(Abridged) In this white paper, we outline the major barriers to access within the educational and professional practice of astronomy. We present current best practices for inclusi…
Astro2020 Science White Paper: Probing the Structure of Interstellar Dust from Micron to Kpc Scales with X-ray Imaging
Lynne Valencic, Lia Corrales, Sebastian Heinz +8
The X-ray regime is a largely underused resource for constraining interstellar dust grain models and improving our understanding of the physical processes that dictate how grains e…
Astro 2020: Astromineralogy of interstellar dust with X-ray spectroscopy
Lia Corrales, Lynne Valencic, Elisa Costantini +16
X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) in the 0.2-2 keV band is a crucial component in multi-wavelength studies of dust mineralogy, size, and shape -- parameters that are necessary…
High-Energy Photon and Particle Effects onExoplanet Atmospheres and Habitability
Jeremy J. Drake, Julián D. Alvarado-Gómez, Vladimir Airapetian +41
It is now recognized that energetic stellar photon and particle radiation evaporates and erodes planetary atmospheres and controls upper atmospheric chemistry. Key exoplanet host s…
Astro2020: How does dust escape from galaxies?
Edmund Hodges-Kluck, Lía Corrales, Sylvain Veilleux +3
Whenever gas is blown out of a galaxy, chances are that it contains some cosmic dust. This dust is an important part of the metals budget for the circumgalactic and intergalactic m…
The X-ray variable sky as seen by MAXI: the future of dust echo tomography with bright Galactic X-ray bursts
Lia Corrales, Brianna S. Mills, Sebastian Heinz +1
Bright, short duration X-ray flares from accreting compact objects produce thin, dust scattering rings that enable dust echo tomography: high precision distance measurements and ma…
The Advanced X-ray Imaging Satellite
Richard F. Mushotzky, James Aird, Amy J. Barger +41
Much of the baryonic matter in the Universe, including the most active and luminous sources, are best studied in the X-ray band. Key advances in X-ray optics and detectors have pav…
