Abstract

We review some of the many scientific results reported at a symposium held in September 2009 celebrating the 10th anniversary of National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA's) Chandra X-ray Observatory. These results were contributed by scientists who were among the more than 300 symposium participants. We highlight those results that most emphasize the unique imaging and spectroscopic capabilities of Chandra.
