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.
