This poster by Shifra Mandel focuses on what HEX-P will enable in the Galactic Center. There is a cornucopia of sources there, both point sources and diffuse, as well as flares from Sgr A* -- the hiccups of the supermassive black hole! #HEAD20
Here's another poster from #HEAD20, this one from Matteo Bachetti. He simulated how HEX-P will enable exceptional new studies of ULXs -- with the resolution needed to separate sources, the sensitivity to detect them in short exposures, and the bandpass to see new behaviors.
Here's a poster from @amruta, on how HEX-P will change our understanding of pulsars. HEX-P will allow us to detect and study pulsars in crowded environments, and to study geometries of intra-binary shocks. We'll learn about companion ablation and orbital evolution. #HEAD20
Oh no, the posters are coming down and we still have so many to share! Here's one from Suvi Gezari, with a conversation with Chat-HEX-P on the potentials of X-ray spectro-timing of extragalactic nuclear transients #HEAD20#HEXPloreTheUniverse
.@ArcodiaRiccardo gives the last of the @eROSITA_SRG talks of the #HEAD20 meeting on tidal distributing events and the discovery potential of @eROSITA_SRG on variable sources. Riccardo presents lots of great work done by @adam_malyali and Zhu Liu.
The pizza is here! If you're at #HEAD20, come to Kona 4 to have a slice and get some hands-on experience working with the Chandra Source Catalog in time for the release of Version 2.1! And if you're attending remotely, the Zoom info is on the Conference Slack #XRaysAreTheBestRays
Here's Dan Wilkins with his poster on the HEX-P perspective on AGN. These observations will revolutionize our understanding of supermassive black hole growth and the important effect that these objects have on their host galaxies and the formation of structure in the Universe. #HEAD20
#HEAD20 isn't over yet, and we still have posters to share! Nicole Rodriguez Cavero demonstrates how the highest-energy sensitivities of HEX-P will enable us to discern coronal geometries generated from the kerrC relativistic ray-tracing code.
Daniel finishes with a shoutout to all of the 22 HEX-P posters. If you're in Hawaii, please take a look at them! And, if you're not -- well, we'll keep on posting them for your benefit on the #HEAD20 hashtag!
