A new measurement of the cosmic X-ray background
A. Moretti, C. Pagani, G. Cusumano +14
We present a new measurement of the cosmic X-ray background (CXRB) in the 1.5-7 keV energy band, performed by exploiting the Swift X-ray telescope (XRT) data archive. We also prese…
Meteoroid and space debris impacts in grazing-incidence telescopes
J. D. Carpenter, A. Wells, A. F. Abbey +1
Micrometeoroid or space debris impacts have been observed in the focal planes of the XMM-Newton and Swift-XRT X-ray observatories. These impacts have resulted in damage to, and in…
The Swift X-Ray Telescope: Status and Performance
David N. Burrows, J. A. Kennea, A. F. Abbey +23
We present science highlights and performance from the Swift X-ray Telescope (XRT), which was launched on November 20, 2004. The XRT covers the 0.2-10 keV band, and spends most of…
