What Does HXIS Stand For?

HXIS stands for Hard X Ray Imaging Spectrometer

HXIS, or Hard X Ray Imaging Spectrometer, is an advanced scientific instrument designed to measure and analyze hard X-ray emissions from astronomical sources. It combines imaging and spectroscopic capabilities to provide high-resolution data on the spectral and spatial characteristics of celestial objects. The HXIS is instrumental in enhancing our understanding of fundamental processes in astrophysics, including the behavior of matter in extreme environments and the properties of high-energy phenomena.
