AXIS X-ray Probe
@axisprobe.bsky.social
AXIS is a proposed X-ray probe that will revolutionize our understanding of the X-ray sky and how the Universe works.
Check for the wonderful science that @axisprobe.bsky.social would enable in the white book uploaded today in arXiv: arxiv.org/abs/2511.00253 I've participated with a chapter on "X-ray and radio surface brightness edges in the ICM", you can find it in the Galaxies GO Science section (page 69)
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! www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Hl4...

Newly discovered x-ray objects could be a rare type of black hole
For decades, intermediate-mass black holes have largely evaded direct observation

Science team member Edmund Hodges-Kluck presents on probing feedback in and around galaxies with AXIS!
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.
Two of our science team members, Daryl Haggard and Samar Safi-Harb were interviewed about AXIS by @ctvnewsmontreal.bsky.social! Check out their interview: montreal.ctvnews.ca/montreal-sci...
