The Chandra X-Ray Optics
Martin C. Weisskopf
Significant advances in science always take place when the state of the art in instrumentation improves dramatically. NASA's Chandra X-Ray Observatory represents such an advance. L…
The Extreme Physics Explorer and Large Area Micro-Channel Plate Optics
Michael Garcia, Martin Elvis, Jon Chappell +10
The Extreme Physics Explorer (EPE) is a concept timing/spectroscopy mission that would use micro-channel plate optics (MCPO) to provide 4 square meters effective area focused to ~1…
Flight Performance of an advanced CZT Imaging Detector in a Balloon-borne Wide-Field Hard X-ray Telescope - ProtoEXIST1
J. Hong, B. Allen, J. Grindlay +6
We successfully carried out the first high-altitude balloon flight of a wide-field hard X-ray coded-aperture telescope ProtoEXIST1, which was launched from the Columbia Scientific…
The Large Observatory for X-ray Timing (LOFT)
M. Feroci, the LOFT Consortium
High-time-resolution X-ray observations of compact objects provide direct access to strong-field gravity, to the equation of state of ultra-dense matter and to black hole masses an…
ORIGIN: Metal Creation and Evolution from the Cosmic Dawn
J. W. den Herder, L. Piro, T. Ohashi +156
ORIGIN is a proposal for the M3 mission call of ESA aimed at the study of metal creation from the epoch of cosmic dawn. Using high-spectral resolution in the soft X-ray band, ORIGI…
