Quote from another source on China's HXMT X-ray satellite:
"Compared with previous X-ray astronomical satellites, HXMT has a larger detection area, broader energy range and wider field of view. These gives it advantages in observing black holes and neutron stars emitting bright X-rays, and it can more efficiently scan the galaxy."
