FOXSI-2: Upgrades of the Focusing Optics X-ray Solar Imager for its Second Flight
Steven Christe, Lindsay Glesener, Camilo Buitrago-Casas +12
The Focusing Optics X-ray Solar Imager (FOXSI) sounding rocket payload flew for the second time on 2014 December 11. To enable direct Hard X-Ray (HXR) imaging spectroscopy, FOXSI m…
The Imaging X-Ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE): Pre-Launch
Martin C. Weisskopf, Paolo Soffitta, Luca Baldini +155
Scheduled to launch in late 2021, the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) is a NASA Small Explorer Mission in collaboration with the Italian Space Agency (ASI). The mission w…
Use of a ray-tracing simulation to characterize ghost rays in the FOXSI rocket experiment
J. C. Buitrago-Casas, S. Christe, L. Glesener +12
Imaging X-rays by direct focusing offers greater sensitivity and a higher dynamic range compared to techniques based on indirect imaging. The Focusing Optics X-ray Solar Imager (FO…
SmallSat Solar Axion and Activity X-ray Imager (SSAXI)
Jaesub Hong, Suzanne Romaine, Almus Kenter +8
Axions are a promising dark matter candidate as well as a solution to the strong charge-parity (CP) problem in quantum chromodynamics (QCD). We describe a new mission concept for S…
