Beyond What Human Eyes Can See: The Universe in X-rays

X-ray astronomy offers a unique perspective on the Universe, allowing us to observe celestial objects and phenomena that are invisible to the naked eye. My talk will focus on the introduction to the field of X-ray astronomy, its practical applications and significant contributions to our understanding of the cosmos. I will discuss the basics of X-ray astronomy, including the technology and instruments used to detect X-rays from space. Through X-ray observations, astronomers have gained insights into the behavior of black holes, neutron stars, and other high-energy sources. These observations have also played a crucial role in studying galaxies and dark matter. The presentation will emphasize the collaborative nature of X-ray astronomy, showcasing how scientists from various disciplines work together to unravel the mysteries of the universe. Additionally, I will touch upon upcoming missions and advancements like XRISM, Athena, XPosat that promise to expand our knowledge of the cosmos through X-ray observations.
