Searching for Gravitational Wave Events Counterparts in X-Rays by Tilting the Multiple Shells of Wolter-I Optics
John Rankin, Daniele Spiga, Paolo Conconi +5
Current X-ray telescopes have a combination of field of view and angular resolution that makes it difficult to quickly localize the electromagnetic counterparts of gravitational wa…
EXPO: a quantum leap in fast, wide-band X-ray polarimetry for astrophysics
Paolo Soffitta, Sebastien Guillot, Ian Hutchinson +137
The Enhanced X-ray Polarimetry Observatory (EXPO) is a mission concept proposed to ESA as an M8 candidate, with a prospective launch in 2041. Building on the scientific success of…
Overview and design optimization of a custom hybrid X-ray telescope for the International Axion Observatory (IAXO)
Yue Yu, Jooyun Woo, Ipek Altunyurt +34
We present the design optimization for maximizing the effective area of a custom X-ray optic for the International Axion Observatory (IAXO) and BabyIAXO, including its novel hybrid…
The AI_INFN Platform: Artificial Intelligence Development in the Cloud
Lucio Anderlini, Giulio Bianchini, Diego Ciangottini +4
Machine Learning (ML) is profoundly reshaping the way researchers create, implement, and operate data-intensive software. Its adoption, however, introduces notable challenges for c…
Introducing The SHell misAlignment Detection for straylight Estimation (SHADE) algorithm: the case of XMM-Newton
S. Piscitelli, G. Ponti, M. Civitani +1
When performing X-ray observations with a Wolter-I telescope, the presence of bright off-axis sources can introduce unfocused rays, known as straylight, which contaminate the detec…
Study of Lobster and Kirkpatrick-Baez Designs for a Small Mission dedicated to Gravitational Wave Transient Localization
John Rankin, Sergio Campana, Giovanni Pareschi +5
The localization of X-ray counterparts to gravitational wave events requires a telescope with accurate localization capability in a field of view comparable to the region constrain…
