X-Ray Astronomy

Scientific paper

As the only non-observer among the chapter authors, I have organized this chapter around three themes that are somewhat "orthogonal" to most of the preceding, source-centred ones. These are the physical processes that are ultimately responsible for X-ray emission, the peculiar importance of X-ray observations in rounding out our view of the structure and evolution of stars and galaxies and the underacknowledged role of X-ray astronomy in defining the cosmological world model to which we have been led and which is now starting to raise some very important questions concerning what actually happened in the first 106 years of the life of the Universe. I conclude with a brief listing of the proposed next generation of X-ray observatories.
