Scientific paper

We present a concept of a new X-ray timing mission proposed for Russian space program. The preliminary study includes the main scientific tasks for the X-ray timing mission, requirements for scientific payload and spacecraft. The mission will concentrate on X-ray variability study of bright black holes and neutron stars. These objects can give unique information for both strong gravity and nuclear physics. The study of an accretion flows variability mechanism is essential to successful interpretation of X-ray data and unambiguous determination of fundamental parameters of compact objects. The observatory main instrument is a large area X-ray timing spectrometer. The complementary instruments are focal-plane X-ray polarimeter and X-ray monitor.
