LINE EMISSION MAPPER
DISCOVERING OUR CONNECTED COSMOS
The observatory for the 2030s
Line Emission Mapper (LEM) is an X-ray Probe for the 2030s. Its transformative observational capabilities will open a new discovery space, allowing comprehensive studies of physics that drive the formation and growth of structures in the Universe: from planets and the Milky Way ecosystems to galactic halos and the cosmic web. LEM will also provide transformative new observing capabilities for every area of astrophysics, as well as heliophysics and planetary science.
