Scientific paper

The International X-ray Observatory (IXO) with the participation of ESA, NASA and JAXA will address many timely science topics including black holes and matter under extreme conditions, galaxy formation, galaxy clusters and cosmic feedback, and the life cycles of matter and energy. The baseline mission implementation consists of a single optic with an effective area of 3 sq m at 1 keV and 5 arc sec resolution, and the instruments include a micro-calorimeter spectrometer array, a wide field imager, a grating spectrometer, a high-time resolution spectrometer and an X-ray polarimeter. This presentation will summarize the current science goals and mission implementation approach based on the on-going NASA, ESA and JAXA design studies.
