Increasing the Discovery Space in Astrophysics: The Exploration Question for Compact Objects
Abstract
Exploration can be the central question for Astro2020. Major astronomical discoveries were not driven by known questions, but by increasing discovery space via new telescopes and instruments, & now archive mining. Revolutionary facilities and supporting archives will open new discoveries. We focus on compact objects & multi-messenger exploration.
