The Instrument of the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer
Paolo Soffitta, Luca Baldini, Ronaldo Bellazzini +78
While X-ray Spectroscopy, Timing and Imaging have improved verymuch since 1962, when the first astronomical non-solar source was discovered, especially with the launch of Newton/X-…
Design, Construction, and Test of the Gas Pixel Detectors for the IXPE Mission
L. Baldini, M. Barbanera, R. Bellazzini +91
Due to be launched in late 2021, the Imaging X-Ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) is a NASA Small Explorer mission designed to perform polarization measurements in the 2-8 keV band, c…
Modeling the in-orbit background of PolarLight
Jiahui Huang, Hua Feng, Hong Li +23
PolarLight is a gas pixel X-ray polarimeter mounted on a CubeSat, which was launched into a Sun-synchronous orbit in October 2018. We build a mass model of the whole CubeSat with t…
In-orbit Operation and Performance of the CubeSat Soft X-ray Polarimeter PolarLight
Hong Li, Xiangyun Long, Hua Feng +21
PolarLight is a compact soft X-ray polarimeter onboard a CubeSat, which was launched into a low-Earth orbit on October 29, 2018. In March 2019, PolarLight started full operation, a…
PolarLight: a CubeSat X-ray Polarimeter based on the Gas Pixel Detector
Hua Feng, Weichun Jiang, Massimo Minuti +20
The gas pixel detector (GPD) is designed and developed for high-sensitivity astronomical X-ray polarimetry, which is a new window about to open in a few years. Due to the small mas…
