Imaging in High Energy Astronomy

Abstract

In a cooperation between Asti. Inst. Potsdam, MPE Garching and Astr. Inst. Univ.- Tübingen we have proposed to DARA to build a small X-ray satellite for an all-sky survey in the 0.5-10 keV band in order to observe an expected population of AGN, absorbed by a gas and dust torus.
