Science of the X-ray Sun: The X-ray telescope on Solar-B Original Research Article

The X-Ray Telescope (XRT) on Solar-B is designed to provide high resolution, high cadence observations of the X-ray corona through a wide range of filters. The XRT science team has identified four general problems in coronal physics as the primary science goals for our instrument. Each of these goals will require collaborative observations from the other Solar-B instruments: EUV Imaging Spectrograph (EIS) and Solar Optical Telescope Focal Plane Package (SOT). We will discuss the science goals and observations needed to address those goals.
