Scientific paper

NASA's Chandra X-Ray Observatory was launched in July of 1999. Featuring a 1000 cm2-class X-ray telescope with sub-arcsecond angular resolution, the Observatory has observed targets from the solar system including the Earth's moon, comets, and planets to the most distant galaxy clusters and active galactic nuclei. Capable of performing moderate energy resolution image-resolved spectroscopy using its CCD detectors, and high-resolution grating spectroscopy, the Observatory has produced, and continues to produce, valuable data and insights into the emission mechanisms of the ionized plasmas in which the X-rays originate. We present an overview admittedly brief of the Observatory to provide insight as to how to use it for your investigations. We also present an, admittedly brief and biased, of some of the results of investigations performed with Chandra that may be of interest to this audience.
