X-ray Timing Instrument (XTI)

The X-ray Timing Instrument (XTI) is a specialized device designed to observe and measure rapid fluctuations in X-ray signals emitted by celestial objects such as neutron stars and black holes. By capturing high-speed data with precise time stamps, the XTI helps astronomers study phenomena occurring in extreme environments, revealing insights into the behavior of matter under intense gravity and magnetic fields. Its advanced detectors and timing capabilities enable detailed analysis of the timing and variability of X-ray emissions, contributing to our understanding of the fundamental physics governing these celestial objects.
