# Observatory science with eXTP

## TL;DR

The eXTP mission aims to advance X-ray astronomy by studying transient phenomena across various cosmic sources, leveraging its enhanced timing and polarimetry capabilities.

## Contribution

This paper highlights the scientific potential of the eXTP mission for Observatory Science, focusing on its capabilities to study transient X-ray sources.

## Key findings

- eXTP will enable detailed studies of flaring stars and supernova remnants.
- It will improve understanding of accreting white dwarfs and X-ray binaries.
- The mission will provide new insights into active galactic nuclei and gamma-ray bursts.

## Abstract

In this White Paper we present the potential of the enhanced X-ray Timing and Polarimetry (eXTP) mission for studies related to Observatory Science targets. These include flaring stars, supernova remnants, accreting white dwarfs, low and high mass X-ray binaries, radio quiet and radio loud active galactic nuclei, tidal disruption events, and gamma-ray bursts. eXTP will be excellently suited to study one common aspect of these objects: their often transient nature. Developed by an international Consortium led by the Institute of High Energy Physics of the Chinese Academy of Science, the eXTP mission is expected to be launched in the mid 2020s.
