X-ray grating spectroscopy as a mission enhancement
Hans Moritz Guenther, Ehud Behar, Joel N. Bregman +27
We propose to add instruments to any potential future X-ray mission with focussing optics that is considered in NASA's ASTRA framework. Such an instrument is a necessity to study A…
Transmission grating arrays for the X-ray spectrometer on Arcus Probe
Ralf K. Heilmann, Alexander R. Bruccoleri, James A. Gregory +6
The Arcus Probe mission concept has been submitted as an Astrophysics Probe Explorer candidate. It features two co-aligned high-resolution grating spectrometers: one for the soft x…
The First Flight of the Marshall Grazing Incidence X-ray Spectrometer (MaGIXS)
Sabrina L. Savage, Amy R. Winebarger, Ken Kobayashi +34
The Marshall Grazing Incidence X-ray Spectrometer (MaGIXS) sounding rocket experiment launched on July 30, 2021 from the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico. MaGIXS is a unique…
X-ray performance of critical-angle transmission grating prototypes for the Arcus mission
Ralf K. Heilmann, Alexander R. Bruccoleri, Vadim Burwitz +12
Arcus is a proposed soft x-ray grating spectrometer Explorer. It aims to explore cosmic feedback by mapping hot gases within and between galaxies and galaxy clusters and characteri…
Calibration of the MaGIXS experiment II: Flight Instrument Calibration
P. S. Athiray, Amy R. Winebarger, Patrick Champey +21
The Marshall Grazing Incidence X-ray Spectrometer (MaGIXS) is a sounding rocket experiment that observes the soft X-ray spectrum of the Sun from 6.0 - 24 Angstrom (0.5 - 2.0 keV),…
Toward volume manufacturing of high-performance soft x-ray critical-angle transmission gratings
Ralf K. Heilmann, Alexander R. Bruccoleri, Jungki Song +11
High-resolution () x-ray absorption and emission line spectroscopy in the soft x-ray band is a crucial diagnostic for the exploration of the properties of ubiquitou…
Demonstration of resolving power for a space-based x-ray transmission grating spectrometer
Ralf K. Heilmann, Jeffery Kolodziejczak, Alexander R. Bruccoleri +2
We present measurements of the resolving power of a soft x-ray spectrometer consisting of 200 nm-period lightweight, alignment-insensitive critical-angle transmission (CAT) grating…
Critical-angle x-ray transmission grating spectrometer with extended bandpass and resolving power > 10,000
Ralf K. Heilmann, Alexander R. Bruccoleri, Jeffery Kolodziejczak +4
Several high priority subjects in astrophysics can be addressed by a state-of-the-art soft x-ray grating spectrometer (XGS). An Explorer-scale, large-area (> 1,000 cm2), high resol…
