Milli- to micro-arcsecond X-ray imaging will open a new observational regime for Galactic astrophysics by resolving physical scales that are inaccessible to current X-ray observatories. This white paper highlights the science enabled by such capabilities across four broad questions: how particles are accelerated, how s...

The Lynx2030 Science Analysis Group (SAG) was convened to reassess the scientific goals and technical drivers of the Lynx mission concept amid a rapidly evolving astrophysics landscape. Building on the original Lynx Concept Study, the SAG examined how recent discoveries, emerging facilities, and advances in instrumenta...

The Rapid Burster (MXB 1730$-$335) is the only known neutron star to produce both Type I and Type II X-ray bursts, making it a key system for understanding accretion physics onto neutron stars. It resides in Liller 1, a dense, metal-rich stellar system whose crowded core and $\sim$11 magnitudes of visual extinction hav...

The Bulge Fossil Fragments Terzan 5 and Liller 1 host some of the densest stellar environments in the Galaxy, yet their variable star populations have remained largely unexplored due to crowding and heavy obscuration. Here, we identify 1,315 variable sources in these two systems in what is to our knowledge the first JW...
