First light of BEaTriX, the new testing facility for the modular X-ray optics of the ATHENA mission
S. Basso, B. Salmaso, D. Spiga +35
The Beam Expander Testing X-ray facility (BEaTriX) is a unique X-ray apparatus now operated at the Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica (INAF), Osservatorio Astronomico di Brera (OAB)…
Silicon Pore Optics
Nicolas M. Barrière, Marcos Bavdaz, Maximilien J. Collon +4
Silicon Pore Optics (SPO) uses commercially available monocrystalline double-sided super-polished silicon wafers as a basis to produce mirrors that form lightweight high-resolution…
Voyage through the Hidden Physics of the Cosmic Web
A. Simionescu, S. Ettori, N. Werner +27
The majority of the ordinary matter in the local Universe has been heated by strong structure formation shocks and resides in a largely unexplored hot, diffuse, X-ray emitting plas…
Line Spread Functions of Blazed Off-Plane Gratings Operated in the Littrow Mounting
Casey T. DeRoo, Randall L. McEntaffer, Drew M. Miles +13
Future soft X-ray (10 - 50 Angstrom) spectroscopy missions require higher effective areas and resolutions to perform critical science that cannot be done by instruments on current…
Confidence intervals for the encircled energy fraction and the half energy width
Giuseppe Vacanti
The Encircled Energy Fraction and its quantiles, notably the Half Energy Width, are routinely used to characterize the quality of X-ray optical systems. They are however always quo…
Performance Testing of a Novel Off-plane Reflection Grating and Silicon Pore Optic Spectrograph at PANTER
Hannah Marlowe, Randall L. McEntaffer, Ryan Allured +12
An X-ray spectrograph consisting of radially ruled off-plane reflection gratings and silicon pore optics was tested at the Max Planck Institute for extraterrestrial Physics PANTER…
