X-ray astronomy from the lunar surface
X-ray astronomy from the lunar surface
Three cases are reviewed for X-ray astronomy from the lunar surface: (1) Facilitation of ambitious engineering designs including long focal length telescopes and X-ray interferometery; (2) Occultation studies and the gain they enable in astrometric precision; (3) Multimessenger time-domain coordinated observations. Some of these use cases have relatively low mas budgets and could be conducted as early pathfinders, while others are more ambitious and will likely need to await improvements in launch technology or developed lunar bases.

Abstract
Three cases are reviewed for X-ray astronomy from the lunar surface: (1) Facilitation of ambitious engineering designs including long focal length telescopes and X-ray interferometery; (2) Occultation studies and the gain they enable in astrometric precision; (3) Multimessenger time-domain coordinated observations. Some of these use cases have relatively low mas budgets and could be conducted as early pathfinders, while others are more ambitious and will likely need to await improvements in launch technology or developed lunar bases.
