Brief Chandra Observatory Bibliography
We have compiled a list of basic references and URLs intended to be
a starting point for understanding the instrument and data.
It is deliberately limited to a few references for each topic
and not intended to be comprehensive, just a good start.
Several articles about many aspects of the Chandra
mission and CIAO - Chandra's data analysis software - have appeared in the Chandra newsletters.
