enhanced X-ray Timing and Polarimetry Observatory
The Chinese-led European-partner eXTP (enhanced X-ray Timing and Polarimetry) is a future space observatory designed to study ultra-dense matter, strong gravity, and magnetism through simultaneous X-ray spectroscopy, timing, and polarimetry. Its planned instrument suite covers roughly 0.5–30 keV and targets a 2027 launch.
