Scientific paper

The diffraction grating spectra from Chandra and XMM-Newton have given the astronomical community a huge step forward in x-ray spectroscopy of celestial sources. They have proven the scientific richness of the field. But the spectra have resolution of only 300 to 1000 -- low by the standards of the visible and the ultraviolet. We will discuss some of the exciting new science that can be addressed if spectral resolution of up to 10000 (or more) can be achieved in the x-ray. We will then show how practical high efficiency high resolution x-ray spectrographs can be built for high throughput missions like Constellation-X and XEUS.
