The Fermi Gamma Ray Space Telescope discovers the Pulsar in the Young Galactic Supernova-Remnant CTA 1
Fermi LAT Collaboration
Energetic young pulsars and expanding blast waves (supernova remnants, SNRs) are the most visible remains after massive stars, ending their lives, explode in core-collapse supernov…
Low energy polarization sensitivity of the Gas Pixel Detector
F. Muleri, P. Soffitta, L. Baldini +15
An X-ray photoelectric polarimeter based on the Gas Pixel Detector has been proposed to be included in many upcoming space missions to fill the gap of about 30 years from the first…
A Sealed Gas Pixel Detector for X-ray Astronomy
R. Bellazzini, G. Spandre, M. Minuti +13
We report on the results of a new, sealed, Gas Pixel Detector. The very compact design and the absence of the gas flow system, make this detector substantially ready for use as foc…
POLARIX: a small mission of x-ray polarimetry
Enrico Costa, Ronaldo Bellazzini, Paolo Soffitta +24
X-Ray Polarimetry can be now performed by using a Micro Pattern Gas Chamber in the focus of a telescope. It requires large area optics for most important scientific targets. But si…
An X-ray polarimeter for hard X-ray optics
Fabio Muleri, Ronaldo Bellazzini, Enrico Costa +23
Development of multi-layer optics makes feasible the use of X-ray telescope at energy up to 60-80 keV: in this paper we discuss the extension of photoelectric polarimeter based on…
A photoelectric polarimeter for XEUS: a new window in x-ray sky
Ronaldo Bellazzini, Luca Baldini, Francesco Bitti +18
XEUS is a large area telescope aiming to rise X-ray Astronomy to the level of Optical Astronomy in terms of collecting areas. It will be based on two satellites, locked on a format…
