Scientific paper

Through the use of simulated X-ray spectra the question of instrument requirements for a spectrograph that could significantly advance X-ray astronomy is addressed. It it concluded that resolution (lambda/delta lambda) in the range of 200 to 500, and effective collecting area in excess of 200 sq cm are required. One design, based on the objective reflection grating concept, which would meet these stringent requirements in an Explorer class mission is presented.
