TL;DR
This paper discusses the potential of very wide-area X-ray surveys to address open questions about the local universe, building on the capabilities of Chandra and XMM-Newton.
Contribution
It highlights the importance of large-scale X-ray surveys for advancing understanding of the very local universe.
Findings
Wide-area X-ray surveys can uncover new local universe phenomena.
Current X-ray observatories have revolutionized local universe studies.
Future surveys will address open questions in the field.
Abstract
While the exceptional sensitivity of Chandra and XMM-Newton has resulted in revolutionary studies of the Galactic neighborhood in the soft (<10 keV) X-ray band, there are many open questions. We discuss these issues and how they would be addressed by very wide-area (> 100 sq. deg.) X-ray surveys.
