Scientific paper
The design and capabilities of the X-ray Large Array (XLA) to be utilized on the proposed Space Station for X-ray astronomy research are described. The XLA has an X-ray sensitive area of 100 sq m and 512 proportional counter units arranged in 64 eight unit modules to be assembled into an array at the Space Station. The XLA will provide major performance gains in timing, time-resolved spectroscopy, ultra-high angular resolution, and mapping extended regions of low surface brightness. Various applications for the XLA, in particular its use to detect millisecond X-ray pulsars and gravitational waves which will confirm Einstein's theory of relativity, are discussed.
