Systematic effects on a Compton polarimeter at the focus of an X-ray mirror
M. Aoyagi, R. G. Bose, S. Chun +23
XL-Calibur is a balloon-borne Compton polarimeter for X-rays in the 15-80 keV range. Using an X-ray mirror with a 12 m focal length for collecting photons onto a beryllium sc…
ASCENT - A balloon-borne hard X-ray imaging spectroscopy telescope using transition edge sensor microcalorimeter detectors
Fabian Kislat, Daniel Becker, Douglas Bennett +26
Core collapse supernovae are thought to be one of the main sources in the galaxy of elements heavier than iron. Understanding the origin of the elements is thus tightly linked to o…
The design and performance of the XL-Calibur anticoincidence shield
N. K. Iyer, M. Kiss, M. Pearce +31
The XL-Calibur balloon-borne hard X-ray polarimetry mission comprises a Compton-scattering polarimeter placed at the focal point of an X-ray mirror. The polarimeter is housed withi…
XL-Calibur -- a second-generation balloon-borne hard X-ray polarimetry mission
Q. Abarr, H. Awaki, M. G. Baring +38
XL-Calibur is a hard X-ray (15-80 keV) polarimetry mission operating from a stabilised balloon-borne platform in the stratosphere. It builds on heritage from the X-Calibur mission,…
