AXIS Community Science Workshop, 14-16 May 2025 in Annapolis, MD 
 

Monthly AXIS Seminar

Join us on the first Friday of the month at 12 noon ET for virtual talks about the promising science of high-resolution X-ray imaging enabled by AXIS, hosted by the AXIS Team. 

Zoom information is distributed by e-mail to members of the AAS High Energy Astrophysics Division. 

Previous talks may be viewed on the AXIS YouTube channel, which also includes other recorded public presentations. Click on the three-lines icon at the top right of the video below to see the full playlist of AXIS videos.
