An Overview of the Performance and Scientific Results from the Chandra X‐Ray Observatory
Open accessAbstract
The Chandra X‐Ray Observatory ( CXO ), the X‐ray component of NASA's Great Observatories, was launched on 1999 July 23 by the space shuttle Columbia . After satellite systems activation, the first X‐rays focused by the telescope were observed on 1999 August 12. Beginning with the initial observation it was clear that the telescope had survived the launch environment and was operating as expected. Despite an initial surprise due to the discovery that the telescope was far more efficient for concentrating CCD‐damaging low‐energy protons than had been anticipated, the observatory is performing well and is returning superb scientific data. Together with other space observatories, most notably XMM ‐ Newton , it is clear that we have entered a new era of discovery in high‐energy astrophysics.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
