The prospects for X-ray polarimetry and its potential use for understanding neutron stars
M. C. Weisskopf, R. F. Elsner, D. Hanna +4
We review the state of the art for measuring the X-ray polarization of neutron stars. We discuss how valuable precision measurements of the degree and position angle of polarizatio…
A Chandra Search for Coronal X Rays from the Cool White Dwarf GD 356
Martin C. Weisskopf, Kinwah Wu, Virginia Trimble +4
We report observations with the Chandra X-ray Observatory of the single, cool, magnetic white dwarf GD 356. For consistent comparison with other X-ray observations of single white…
The role of project science in the Chandra X-ray Observatory
Stephen L. O'Dell, Martin C. Weisskopf
The Chandra X-ray Observatory, one of NASA's Great Observatories, has an outstanding record of scientific and technical success. This success results from the efforts of a team com…
The First Chandra Field
Martin C. Weisskopf, Thomas L. Aldcroft, Robert A. Cameron +6
Before the official first-light images, the Chandra X-Ray Observatory obtained an X-ray image of the field to which its focal plane was first exposed. We describe this historic obs…
A multi-wavelength search for a counterpart of the unidentified gamma-ray source 3EG J2020+4017 (2CG078+2)
Werner Becker, Martin C. Weisskopf, Zaven Arzoumanian +8
In search of the counterpart to the brightest unidentified gamma-ray source 3EG J2020+4017 we report on new X-ray and radio observations of the gamma-Cygni field with the Chandra X…
Chandra Phase-Resolved Spectroscopy of the Crab Pulsar
Martin C. Weisskopf, Stephen L. O'Dell, Frits Paerels +3
We present the first phase-resolved study of the X-ray spectral properties of the Crab Pulsar that covers all pulse phases. The superb angular resolution of the Chandra X-ray Obser…
