D. Spiga, C. Pelliciari, B. Salmaso +10
The BEaTriX (Beam Expander Testing X-ray facility) project is an X-ray apparatus under construction at INAF/OAB to generate a broad (200 x 60 mm2), uniform and low-divergent X-ray…
Public Naming of Planets and Planetary Satellites
T. Montmerle, P. Benvenuti, Sze-leung Cheung +9
While one of the IAU's missions is to "serve as the internationally recognized authority for assigning designations to celestial bodies and surface features on them", the participa…
Mirror production for the Cherenkov telescopes of the ASTRI Mini-Array and of the MST project for the Cherenkov Telescope Array
N. La Palombara, G. Sironi, E. Giro +14
The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) is the next ground-based -ray observatory in the TeV -ray spectral region operating with the Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Technique. It…
Testing multilayer-coated polarizing mirrors for the LAMP soft X-ray telescope
D. Spiga, B. Salmaso, R. She +13
The LAMP (Lightweight Asymmetry and Magnetism Probe) X-ray telescope is a mission concept to measure the polarization of X-ray astronomical sources at 250 eV via imaging mirrors th…
Angular resolution measurements at SPring-8 of a hard X-ray optic for the New Hard X-ray Mission
D. Spiga, L. Raimondi, A. Furuzawa +18
The realization of X-ray telescopes with imaging capabilities in the hard (> 10 keV) X-ray band requires the adoption of optics with shallow (< 0.25 deg) grazing angles to enhance…
