First light of BEaTriX, the new testing facility for the modular X-ray optics of the ATHENA mission
S. Basso, B. Salmaso, D. Spiga +35
The Beam Expander Testing X-ray facility (BEaTriX) is a unique X-ray apparatus now operated at the Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica (INAF), Osservatorio Astronomico di Brera (OAB)…
Thin glass shells for active optics for future space telescopes
Gabriele Vecchi, Stefano Basso, Marta Civitani +3
We present a method for the manufacturing of thin shells of glass, which appears promising for the development of active optics for future space telescopes. The method exploits the…
Design and advancement status of the Beam Expander Testing X-ray facility (BEaTriX)
D. Spiga, C. Pelliciari, B. Salmaso +10
The BEaTriX (Beam Expander Testing X-ray facility) project is an X-ray apparatus under construction at INAF/OAB to generate a broad (200 x 60 mm2), uniform and low-divergent X-ray…
CTA Contributions to the 34th International Cosmic Ray Conference (ICRC2015)
The CTA Consortium, :, A. Abchiche +1305
List of contributions from the CTA Consortium presented at the 34th International Cosmic Ray Conference, 30 July - 6 August 2015, The Hague, The Netherlands.
Profile reconstruction of grazing-incidence X-ray mirrors from intra-focal X-ray full imaging
D. Spiga, S. Basso, M. Bavdaz +11
The optics of a number of future X-ray telescopes will have very long focal lengths (10 - 20 m), and will consist of a number of nested/stacked thin, grazing-incidence mirrors. The…
Development of mirrors made of chemically tempered glass foils for future X-ray telescopes
B. Salmaso, M. Civitani, B. Brizzolari +6
Thin slumped glass foils are considered good candidates for the realization of future X-ray telescopes with large effective area and high spatial resolution. However, the hot slump…
