  1. Science case Main science drivers (comsic vision 2015-2025): • Super Novae and the life cycle of matter • Study of cluster evolution (physical state and chemical abundances) up to z=2 • Study birth and growth of supermassive BH at z~10 • Gravity in the strong field limit (relativisticaly broadened line) • Matter under extreme conditions (near the surface of a NS) JW den Herder 1 18/10/2004

  2. JW den Herder 2 18/10/2004

  3. Conclusions • Science case Need for 2nd cryogenic instrument optimized at low energies, energy resolution prime driver, then low energy cutoff (0.2-0.1), next countrate, and finally FoV Redundancy is also an important driver • Instrument development plan Demonstrate capability to build cryogenic instrument for XEUS/Con-X in Europe Concentrate on TES microcalorimeter (but not excluding others) JW den Herder 3 18/10/2004

  4. commonalities JW den Herder 4 18/10/2004

  5. Prototype instrument requirements(not yet XEUS level)optimize on energy resolution JW den Herder 5 18/10/2004

  6. Instrument concept JW den Herder 6 18/10/2004

  7. Roadmap 1 JW den Herder 7 18/10/2004

  8. Roadmap 2 JW den Herder 8 18/10/2004

  9. Key issues for XEUS JW den Herder 9 18/10/2004

  10. Next steps • Science case: justification for 2nd instrument optimized at low energy Bleeker, Barcons Compare to gratings, low E cut-off, Astro-E2, Be realistic, use cosmic vision • Prototype instrument development plan de Korte + others • High level system overview, technology risks and desired/required qualification level + technology risks • Face-to-face meetings (where appropriate) • Funding (seek funding at national level) • Explore potential Japanese interest (ISAS) • Coordinate developments with ESA (payload definition document etc) • Identify consequences of magnetic micro calorimeter in the prototype • Next meeting (spring 2005) • Coordination/progress monitoring den Herder JW den Herder 10 18/10/2004
