Advancing Fundamental Physics and Cosmology with high-resolution X-ray imaging
Sara Turriziani, Herman L. Marshall, Daryl Haggard +4
Black Holes are the key to solving many unanswered questions in fundamental physics: in particular, the very extreme properties shown by supermassive black holes at the centers of…
Lynx2030 Science Analysis Group: Final Report
Lynx2030 Science Analysis Group, Simon R. Bandler, Laura W. Brenneman +51
The Lynx2030 Science Analysis Group (SAG) was convened to reassess the scientific goals and technical drivers of the Lynx mission concept amid a rapidly evolving astrophysics lands…
Galactic Science with Ultra-High Angular Resolution X-ray Imaging
Paul A. Draghis, Jeremy Hare, Mayura Balakrishnan +8
Milli- to micro-arcsecond X-ray imaging will open a new observational regime for Galactic astrophysics by resolving physical scales that are inaccessible to current X-ray observato…
Laser Metrology for Precision Alignment of Transmission Gratings in the REDSoX Soft X-ray Polarimeter
Swati Ravi, Alan Garner, Jill Juneau +4
The Rocket Experiment Demonstration of a Soft X-ray Polarimeter (REDSoX) is a NASA sounding-rocket mission designed to perform the first astrophysical spectropolarimetry in the 0.2…
A new NASA Pioneer: the Globe Orbiting Soft X-ray Polarimeter (GOSoX)
Herman L Marshall, Sarah N T Heine, Alan Garner +16
The Globe Orbiting Soft X-ray Polarimeter (GOSoX) is a spectropolarimeter for the soft X-ray band. GOSoX is based on the Rocket Experiment Demonstration of a Soft X-ray Polarimeter…
Proof of Concept Measurements of Laterally Graded Multilayers for Soft X-ray Spectropolarimetry
Sarah Heine, Herman L. Marshall, Alan Garner +2
This work describes proof of concept measurements for a soft X-ray spectropolarimeter that utilizes laterally graded multilayer mirrors within a grating spectrometer. The work test…
Design and testing progress towards the first flight of the rocket experiment demonstration of a Soft X-ray Polarimeter (REDSoX)
Sarah N. T. Heine, Herman L. Marshall, Alan Garner +11
The Rocket Experiment Demonstration of a Soft X-ray Polarimeter (REDSoX) is a NASA-funded, sounding rocket mission. The rocket payload will measure polarization strength and direct…
Characterization of X-ray Detectors in the MIT X-ray Polarimetry Beamline
Sarah N. T. Heine, Herman L. Marshall, Benjamin Schneider +3
The MIT X-ray Polarimetry Beamline is a facility that we developed for testing components for possible use in X-ray polarimetry. Over the past few years, we have demonstrated that…
International Astrophysical Consortium for High-energy Calibration: Summary of the 15th IACHEC Workshop
K. K. Madsen, V. Burwitz, K. Forster +8
In this report, we summarize the activities of the International Astronomical Consortium for High Energy Calibration (IACHEC) from the 15th IACHEC Workshop in Pelham, Germany. Sixt…
