Abstract
We propose an X-ray all-sky monitor sensitive in soft X-ray band with the potential to work up to ~ 10 keV. The limiting flux of the proposed system is ~ 10-12 erg/s/cm2 and the angular resolution ~ 4 arc min. The system consists of a number of wide-field modules based on the Multi-Foil Optics.
