Scientific paper

This paper provides an overview of the science goals and provides an update on the programmatic and technical status of the Constellation-X (Con-X) mission. Con-X, with 25-100 times the effective area of any previous spectroscopic mission operating in the 0.25-40 keV bandpass, will enable high-throughput, high spectral resolution, broad band pass studies of a wide variety of sources including material falling into black holes, constraining the nature of dark matter and dark energy, searching for the missing baryons in the warm hot intergalactic medium, and observing cosmic feedback where black holes and star formation affect the intergalactic medium. Con-X is part of NASA's Beyond Einstein space science program. This mission was ranked second only to JWST in US National Academy of Sciences McKee-Taylor and Turner Committee reports.
