摘要

The Chandra X-ray Observatory is a mainstay of modern observational astrophysics. With the highest angular resolution of any X-ray facility, its imaging and spectral capabilities in the 0.5–10 keV band have led to both unique and complementary breakthroughs in nearly all areas of the field. Now, more than a quarter of a century into its mission, Chandra continues to provide invaluable information on the contributions of compact objects to the evolution of galaxies, the nature of supernova explosions, the impact of energetic jets from supermassive black holes on their host environments and the fate of exoplanet atmospheres in systems rich with stellar flares. Here we provide a summary of Chandra results—one that is embarrassingly incomplete, but representative of both the exquisite past and promising future of Chandra’s contributions to high-energy astrophysics and all of mainstream astronomy.
