AXIS X-ray Probe

YouTube video by The CRAM Podcast ~ Extraordinary Ideas Unleashed Juggernauts of the universe: the compelling case of black holes

Check out AXIS science team member Daryl Haggard on The CRAM Podcast as she speaks about black holes and how AXIS will transform our understanding of them!

#AXISTheXrayUniverse

Science team member Edmund Hodges-Kluck presents on probing feedback in and around galaxies with AXIS!

AXIS will also find the largest sample of X-ray dual AGN, and constrain their fraction as a function of cosmic time

Science team member Fabio Pacucci presents on the high-z SMBH science capable with AXIS!

AXIS surveys will be farther, wider, and faster than currently possible.

P.I Chris Reynolds starts off our session introducing AXIS!
