Kronos is a multiwavelength (X-ray, EUV, UV, and optical) observatory designed for high time resolution, long-duration spectroscopy of faint sources from high-Earth orbit. It will be proposed to NASA as a Medium Explorer (MIDEX). The main scientific goals of the mission are the study of accretion processes and related outflow phenomena (such as disk winds and jets) in black hole systems of all masses, as well as neutron star and white dwarf interacting binary systems. Coaligned X-ray, EUV, UV/optical telescopes will provide simultaneous spectrophotometry to perform reverberation mapping of active galactic nuclei and eclipse mapping of binary stars to map the structure and dynamics of these systems on microarcsecond angular scales.
