Scientific paper

ABRIXAS is a small satellite project carried out in Germany by three institutes; the Astrophysical Institute Potsdam (AIP), the Institute for Astronomy and Astrophysics Tuebingen (IAAT) and the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics (MPE). ABRIXAS means 'A Broad Band Imaging X ray All Sky Survey', and the plan is to survey the whole sky basically in the way ROSAT did. The survey will take 3 years and provide full sky coverage in the energy band approximately 0.4 to 12 keV. The 3 years sensitivity will be comparable to that of the ROSAT all sky survey in the overlapping energy band, viz. at 1 keV. The angular resolution will be better than one arc min.
