Milli- to micro-arcsecond X-ray imaging will open a new observational regime for Galactic astrophysics by resolving physical scales that are inaccessible to current X-ray observatories. This white paper highlights the science enabled by such capabilities across four broad questions: how particles are accelerated, how s...

The Lynx2030 Science Analysis Group (SAG) was convened to reassess the scientific goals and technical drivers of the Lynx mission concept amid a rapidly evolving astrophysics landscape. Building on the original Lynx Concept Study, the SAG examined how recent discoveries, emerging facilities, and advances in instrumenta...

Next-generation X-ray telescopes require mirrors with surface height errors of a few nanometers. Traditional Fizeau interferometry is limited as measurements include surface errors on the surface under test (SUT) as well as the reference. Axial shift mapping (ASM) is a self-referencing interferometric method for near-c...
