This is a bold and novel program with the potential for results which will be highly significant to physicists worldwide. The expected outcomes will demonstrate that Australia's high-energy research ability is on par with the world's best. The techniques of X-ray astronomy are increasingly a standard part of the professional astronomer's toolkit, although Australia has a limited track record in recent years. This DP will boost the multiwavelength capability of local astronomers by attracting a talented postdoc with experience in X-ray astronomy to Australia, as well as supporting a broader effort to transfer such skills to local students and researchers.

这是一个大胆而新颖的计划，有可能产生对世界各地的物理学家具有非常重要意义的结果。预期的结果将证明澳大利亚的高能研究能力与世界上最好的水平不相上下。X射线天文学技术日益成为专业天文学家工具箱的标准组成部分，尽管澳大利亚近年来的记录有限。这一发展计划将通过吸引有X射线天文学经验的有才华的博士后到澳大利亚，并支持向当地学生和研究人员传授此类技能的更广泛努力，来提高当地天文学家的多波长能力。
