I discuss the study of matter under extreme conditions (both under strong gravity and at ultra-high densities), the cosmology of baryons (assembly of ordinary matter in dark-matter dominated structures and the creation of heavy elements) and the co-eval growth of super-massive black holes and stars in galaxies along cosmic history. Most of these topics can be addressed with a large-aperture deep Universe X-ray space observatory that can be flown soon after 2015, complemented by gravitational wave observatories (LISA), a focussing gamma-ray observatory, a far infrared high-sensitivity observatory and an X-ray survey telescope.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2005-08-09T16:25:35.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "energetic universe", "deep universe x-ray space observatory", "large-aperture deep universe x-ray space", "main science goals", "gravitational wave observatories" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 10, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 689396 } } }
