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…
A Focal-plane X-ray Polarimeter with Spectral and Timing Capabilities for Future Missions
Hemanth Manikantan, Carlo Lefevre, Lorenzo Petrucci +16
The NASA-ASI mission Imaging X-ray Polarimeter Explorer (IXPE) firmly established X-ray polarimetry as a core observation pillar of high-energy astrophysics, alongside imaging, tim…
The CUSP CubeSat mission for space weather multi-physics analysis, design, and testing
Giovanni Lombardi, Riccardo Di Spirito, Sergio Fabiani +48
The CUbesat Solar Polarimeter (CUSP) mission aims to measure the linear polarization of solar flares in the hard X-ray band by means of a Compton scattering polarimeter. CUSP is a…
Compton Polarimeter Prototype for the CUbesat Solar Polarimeter (CUSP) mission
Nicolas De Angelis, Andrea Alimenti, Riccardo Campana +41
The space-based CUbesat Solar Polarimeter (CUSP) mission aims to measure the linear polarization of solar flares in the hard X-ray band (25-100 keV) by means of a dual-phase Compto…
Instruments for Focal Plane X-Ray Polarimetry in the Next Decade
Fabio Muleri, Stefano Cesare, Enrico Costa +18
The successful detection of X-ray polarization from many celestial sources belonging to different classes by the IXPE mission has opened a new window in X-ray astronomy. While an i…
Unlocking the Future of X-Ray Polarimetry with IXPE: Lessons Learned and Next Steps
Paolo Soffitta, Enrico Costa, Ettore Del Monte +7
This paper discusses issues encountered during the early development of the instrument on the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE), a NASA ASI Small Explorer mission launched…
